Wisp playing animation when it finishes building for no reason

[TDzarefun]

Yes, it's me again, with another wisp related problem

Whenever i build something with my wisp, once it finishes building it permanently keeps the "in the process of building" animation (the crazy light-blue glow). It doesn't go away. And I have no idea why. I have searched the forums and couldn't find an answer either. Any help would be gurtly hulpful.

(P.S I wont be replying anytime soon, going to bed)

i dunno how u get the problem, but anyway try this:

• Animation
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wisp
  • Actions
    • Animation - Reset (Triggering unit)'s animation

Edit:
Or try if the 1st trigger not work

• Animation 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wisp
  • Actions
    • Animation - Remove the work animation tag to (Triggering unit)

I couldn't get that trigger to work; I think it is referring to the building/unit being constructed, not the builder. But I'm no expert, so dunno

EDIT:
Found a way to fix it, but it involves storing the builder when it spawns in a variable, then resetting its animation every 1 second of game time. Far from perfect, and I am still open to ideas. It might also become hairy when it starts to involve builders being bought from a shop, builders merging to create new builders, and multiple players

u mean too many builder in the game, and hard to make a trigger hander the animation?
if i m right try this

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Animation - Reset (Picked unit)'s animation

Hmm..
If the other 2 Scripts do not work, try this way (It will work I think, but its shit though, because the wisp will lose all following commands...):

Events
Unit - A unit Finishes construction
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wisp
Actions
Create 1 (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering Unit)) for (Owner of (Triggering Unit)) facing ...
Remove (Triggering Unit) from the game

As I said tha problem is that if you order the wisp to do 2 things in a row, then it wont do 2 things in a row

Maybe the Script above will leak, but i think you can fix it.^^

Success!

Jareph, your solution worked, thanks! and yea, just replacing the unit every time would be quite problematic, but thanks for the input.
