I customized the animate dead ability for a character i was working on and i was wondering if its possible to reanimate units and have them retain their abilities.

For example: If i reanimate a dead priest he can still cast heal and stuff

Yeah, I'm sure it's possible. But I don't have any triggering skills so I cannot help you with that. I'm almost 100% sure that you would need triggers, albeit quite simple, to do this.

You need to.

1) Pick all dead units in an X area, the game can reference corpses as units.

2) Create a new unit equal to the picked unit type at the position of each corpse.

2) Tint, add invulnerability, add expiration timer.

Its really easy.
