Repair both units and buildings

[dragonade311]

I am making a custom race which is inspired by Necrons from warhammer 40k, basically a mix of undead and protoss. They will have unit similar to wisp.
I want the wisp to be able to repair structures but also repair friendly units of that race.
I think repair + heal would work, but is it possible for a repair ability to do both job instead?

Untick 'Organic' flag in the 'Targets Allowed' of the Heal ability and Tick 'Structures' so it can heal Ground, Air and Structures.

Wow never thought of using heal as a whole instead. thanks!

How about if i use Wisp and the work animation it stays on that animation no matter what..

Just add the Heal ability to the Wisp. If you're trying to use Wisp's work animation when healing then change the animation strings in the Heal Ability to 'Work' instead of 'Spell'.

By the way please don't double post, just edit your previous one.

Im sorry, i meant the wisp is stuck on the working animation after healing. and what did i double post may i ask?

As you can see, they still do the "heal" animation despite standing still

That's because the Stand Work animation is a looping animation. You can edit the wisp model to change it into a non-looping animation, using the Magos model editor. You could also rename it to Spell instead of Stand Work, in that case.

is it possible to change without editing the model itself? maybe through triggers?

Editing the model is by far the easiest way to do it. Is there any reason why you can't alter the Stand Work animation?

Oh, I see. I took a few minutes and made a Wisp model that contains both a Stand Work and a duplicate Spell animation that is non-looping. You can import it into your map and then change the path to "Units\NightElf\Wisp\Wisp.mdx". That way, it will replace the default Wisp model and still use the default Portrait. Hope that helps
