Specifying existing 3D art/animations for new unit?

[sclera]

I've made a new unit, functions perfectly in game with icons and all. Problem is, it's showing as a warrior and I don't know how to make it appear as a slinger. Any help?

Have you tried Deliverators helpful guide ? Here you go : https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/3d-art-assets-in-civilization-6-a-modding-guide.612050/

Here you could skip the Most Parts And Look through the artdef Part. Deliverator also Posted a "Rough Guide to Artdef" or similar Name, somewhere here at CFC.

Is it necessary to make .xlp or .ast files for new units, even if they're just borrowing from existing units?

No you dont Need xlp or ast. Files if you just use existing Unit Art, But you Need the Units.artdef

Solved it, the artdef file was not referenced correctly in my Mod.Art.xml file.
