in the object editor

goto ur ability

unselect undead

no, it doesn't work, i tried editing the ability, it's kinda hardcoded
so, just set the buildings RACE to undead, and it will work like a charm.....
nothing will be "suspicious" or out of order, no one will know that their human builders build undead buildings....
so, just set the building's race to undead (so it shifts under Undead - Melee or Custom - Buildings) and it will work with those buildings....
in case it doesn't, set the building declaration to Undead aside from Mechanical, but this won't be necessary... i think only the race editing will do the trick
i had the exact same problem some time ago, and this solved it...

How about triggering an ability?


Well basically goto

UNIT - Classification (in objected editor ) = Undead + (others)

Actually, HEZZA, I think that it's hardcoded to the unit being of the Undead race, not having the Undead classification.

u could always base the building off a ud building and chages its ground text and model etc

You can directly change the race of a building now, so that's not necessary. It will also move the building into the Undead buildings area of the unit tab, but, I guess some sacrifices are necessary in the name of getting things done.
