I am trying to put together a pretty different Tower Defence and i cannot figure out this little issue i am having, [POG]- You select a hero and you can build different ability-like-towers that matches your heros class. You hero will gain exp. and level up as you go through more waves, giving you upgraded towers /spells etc. But my issue here is that I do not want my hero to move around the map, he/she will be in one place the whole time. I need a good way to increase the range in which you can construct (So you do not have to be right next to the building when constructed, and be say 2000 yards away).

Now i have tried using the Spell Book ability and making the construction the item ability "Build Tiny Barracks" but as i figured, the game gets confused and doesnt build the correct unit due to similar OrderStrings.:hohum:
Any Ideas??

Well, the order strings are the same at "None". I just changed one of them, tested and it didnt work. I have checked gameplay constants up and down, i didnt see anything there that could fix it. and i have no idea how to edit the build skill. Its not catigorized(sp?) in the ability list.

Child_Of_Bodom, i just tested that out, it unfortunatly didnt work either ='/. My goal is to just use the normal Build skill, but somehow make it possible for me to build anywhere on the map without having to move to the location.
