Building construction question

Hi guys, I am going straight to the point. Imagine I have an orc peon and that he is building a burrow or some other building. Is it possible to make him build faster while he is building it?

dummy powerbuilding mayhaps? otherwise i guess you could manually fake the buidling construction

You could periodically increase the building's construction percentage.

You say that I would have to trigger the construction of the building myself right?

No. Just once he starts construction you can manually increase it with triggers. The function only accepts integer values from 0-100, though. So to fractionize it you'd need some sort of system.

I don't see any way to do this in GUI (by using 'Unit - Set Construction Progress = Construction Process of BUILDING + 1', as i cant find a way to get the current percentage).

However if you used Human you could create a dummy peasant and have it build the same building at the same time, therefor increaseing build speed.

I really should check if there is a way to powerbuild with units from another race. I guess you would have to tweak resources drain too.

I am using Orc, so I can't use cooperative building (like humans have).
Though, I can always follow Pyro's suggestion, it seems interesting ...

Maybe I will make a system out of it once I get a review on *cough*2D3S*cough... xD

cant you just make the dummy builder of human race? damn i really shoulda check some of these stuff. so many ideas.

If you use Orc, there is no way for you to use a dummy peasant. Same if you use NE or Ud.
