What are the settings I need to change to make hero reviving in altar instantly?

And how do I buy a unit from a building without having a unit near it? I have a zone indicator for that specfic player near it though but the "items menu" is still grey out.

For the hero reviving thing, just make his or her revive time 0. The building thing with the items, I have no idea.

Setting revive time to 0 will make it take forever to revive. The shortest you can set it is 1. The only way to make the revive instant is to use triggers.

As for purchasing items, items can be either "made" or "sold" at a shop. The "items sold" field in a shop shows what items can be sold to only heroes/units with inventory. The "items made" field shows items that can be simply produced at the position of the shop. So, just shift whatever's in your "items sold" field to the "items made" field.

@th15: Thanks they item thingy works.

But I got another question, the revive time do you guys mean "Stats - Repair Time" of the hero unit?

Try setting the heroe's "build time" or "awaken time" I can't rememebr what it's called in the object editor.

Yea, it's related to build time. The exact amount of time taken is determined by factors in the Advanced>Gameplay Constants menu. And in a previous patch, you couldn't reduce the revive time to less than 8 without it taking forever, but they acknowledged that was a bug and have probably fixed it since then.

My advice would be to use Awaken instead of Revive. Awaken happens instantly, and you can use Gameplay Constants to make it give the hero whatever percentage of life and mana that you want, as well as tweaking the Awaken cost, which is generally raunchier than the Revive cost.
