Peon Repair. Aches, Pains, and Frustration. HELP!

Is there anyway to get a peon to repair buildings other than Orc structures? I need him to repair human buildings but its just not working. I have a map which uses buildings from the humans, undead, orc, and night elves so getting him to repair the buildings is something I can't do without. I know its possible by editing .slk files but is it possible to achieve by just making adjustments in the world editor? Damn the 1.03 patch adjustments for the .slk files!!! :gfu: Why Blizzard Why :gfu:

Nope. I tried adding it but the peon still cannot touch any of the other races buildings. Anybody out there have a clue?

I had the same sort of problem with undead building having to be on blight. I'm pretty sure this sort of thing is hardcoded. :/

Try using an acolyte instead (perhaps giving him a peon model if thats important). When i made my TD map i discovered that a peasant (didnt try orc though) couldnt build any undead buildings even if i added restore but the acolyte could make all kinds of buildings and i dont even think i added the other races' repair abilities to him.

Maybe it's because the workers can only repair buildings they can create? Haven't tested this but it seems to be the case.

But in melee games, aren't workers of every race able to repair/renew/restore yours and your allys' structures? I had peons repairing moon wells, wisps renewing catapults, etc.

One melee game I found three different units repairing the same ballista... a wisp, peasant, and acolyte...

i remember seeing the same things so what is the deal then? its a chaos peon and he can build things from all four races but cannot repair a damn thing other than orc based structures. I'm sooo frusterated!

Mythmon I dont understand what your saying. If I create a custom unit there still is noway to make it repair all three types as the unit can only be one of the four necessary peons.
