[General] Can Heroes Build?

[Peacehagen]

Just a quick question if Heroes can build stuff. I've added some structures to a Hero but in-game when trying to build it gets stuck on "Constructing", the bar doesn't fill.

Anyone knows what could be wrong and/or how to fix it?

Because practically the Hero does not have Repair ability

In Warcraft III, the Build ability must be associated with the Repair ability, basically a new unit is created on the ground and the unit just Repair it until it finishes, not really constructing it, but the way we see it, it's a trick of course

Try add Repair ability to the Hero.

Though with this there can be glitches/bugs because of the hero being a hero with hero abilities, some abilities won't show up if you have more then five spells/abilities.

If you change the hero unit's race to Undead it will get "Summon Building" instead of the human "Build". That makes the repair ability not needed if I'm not mistaking.

Good findings
Yes, it works this way, tested it.
