Allied units won't repair/finish building my buildings when ordered through trigger

[Terradul]

I've made a simple trigger that orders my and allied peons to go repair/finish building any structure that is under 100 % HP.
Works perfectly normal for my peons, but allied peons will simply refuse to do it.
It's not a LoS/Them not getting the order though the trigger, because if I change it to move/right-click/attack they will go to the building and do the desired order.
The buildings have 0 repair and build costs and I've modified the Repair (Human) ability by also checking the (Allied) in targets allowed.
Any idea why this happens, is it just a quirk?

Don't worry about the trigger structure, coherence, leaks or anything else, this is just purely for testing out the peon behavior.

You mean repair like finish construction? I'd suspect only you can finish construction of your own structures. Maybe try changing ownership of either the structure or builder or both, then change back when structures completes?

That might be a dumb question but did you give Repair (Human) to the peons? It seems the game differenciates Orc/Human repair abilities

Also, did you try this order? Who knows, it might be some of those classic world edit shenanigans that need to be super specific

Perhaps try this instead:

• Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Right-Click TempUnit

I tried both, it didn't work. For the first the peon goes there but then just stands there... menacingly. As for the second it works the same as if it were Repair-Human, my Peon can works on it, the others can't.

This works, it's kind of ass though, as now my Peon WON'T work on it. I guess it's hardcoded that an ally can't finish constructing your buldings even though they cost or have a repair cost of 0 gold/lumber.
