[Solved] How to make the peasant not build?

[stan0033]

Ok, so I want the peasant to not activiley build the structure, like in the style of undead. the structure builds itself. So I chaanged the race of the peasant to undead. Now two problems come:
1. The icon of the build icon is undead's, and when i change it in Game interface - no effect
2. after the peasant begins the construction, even though he is not needed, his build animation keeps playing forever. (even though the structure is completed later)

Solutions?

1. no idea if you can change that, seems hardcoded to me
2. that's probably because the peasant's work animation is looping, while the acolyte's is non looping - an easy fix with magos model editor (sequence manager)
or simply force a different animation after construction

1) I remember having trouble with this myself. I forget if I found a solution or not... Maybe try changing ALL of the Game Interface icons to the desired one, if possible.

2) I think you can catch the order for Repair which is issued when constructing a structure. Then in response to this order you can change the unit's animation.

Try to go to [AUbu] in this file, change the art to the human one, import the file to your map and append "Units\" before its name.
The only downside is that now all undead units will have that icon :/

Is this supposed to work for 1.26, or later? Cuz i use 1.26a

It's supposed to work on every version, also I should clarify i was talking only about the solution of the first point.

Now, I will try to make this icon be peasant. and about the second point, @A]mun hit it right. I made it non looping and voila!
