[General] Buff on structures

[Sverkerman]

How do I make so that structures can have buffs on them? I made a dummy spell to attatch a buff to a structure in the project I am currently working on and the buff wont be attatched to the structure but to any other none structure unit.

Question reopened!
I did Is A Building - False and that totally messed up the pathing. Is there any way to fix the pathing or is there another way than setting Is A Building - False to enable it to have buffs?

Can't you create an ability and set Targets Allowed to Structures?

@Mr Bean987
That is not my problem. I am fully able to cast the spell on the unit, however the buff which should be attatched to the target of the spell is not attatched to units which has Is A Building = True.

hm kinda strange maybe you could make it a normal unit with no movement speed or you need is a building = true?

 

[Sverkerman]

If I have Is a Building = True the pathing gets messed up. If I have Is a Building = False I cannot attatch buffs to the unit.

If my experience playing Tower Defenses serves me right then buildings can have buffs. The most common are command and endurance aura used to increase tower damage.

A work around for the pathing problem you are having is to create a dummy building under the actual building. The dummy building cannot be selected and has no real visual manifestation and only acts to modify the pathing. Blizzard used this in one of their Tower Defenses to make hero towers.

the buff which should be attatched to the target of the spell is not attatched to units which has Is A Building = True.

If I have Is a Building = False I cannot attatch buffs to the unit.

I don't understand, which one is true?

Perhaps you could create a unit with Is Building - False (if True do not allow buffs), and tick Combat - Target As - Structure, then set requirement for that spell to Structure.

Problem Solved. Movement - Foot fixed pathing problem. However,no upgrade graphic is shown, why is that?
