Prevent Building from Being Repaired?

[Daffa]

I know Liquid Fire is one option, but I am thinking if there's any other hacky way to restrict repair without using Liquid Fire since I intend for this to be triggered.

Thanks for all the support!

I think i have a trigger for this. I will give you that trigger after work in 3h.

Since Repair is just an ability you can always prevent it from being cast in response to the unit attempting to cast it:

A unit begins casting Repair -> Target of ability == Your building -> Order (Casting unit) to Stop

At least I THINK this works. You can also try to interrupt the issued Order as well.

Glad this is an option, though I am putting this a bit on the backlist but sounds good as an alternative. Tampering order is not something I am very keen on, but there are always times when it is needed.

I'll be honest, I am at a loss how Possession will assist this unless you refer to the exact same strategy that Uncle implicitly hints?

I'll keep both of the suggestions in my note.

Yes you just need to change from Possession to Repair. I have that trigger on my map, Undying Loyalty is the name for this skill.

To be honest, the easiest approach to this problem would be to remove the ''Mechanical'' Classification from the Building or via Trigger / and maybe re-add it depending on how you want to use it
