So I've been spending quite some time trying to get a hero-worker unit to be able to construct a building using an item and not actually having the ability to do so. So far, what I do is have a leech start to build the building at the designated position, then have the leech disappear and auto-order my hero to "repair" the building, essentially finishing its construction. It works great so far, that is, as long as the hero has the techtree ability to build that specific structure. So here's the question: Is there any way that I could accomplish the same task without having that annoying building icon at the lower left (it screws with my abilities)? |

You can't just use a custom version of the "Build Tiny Castle" item? |

Haha, yeah I guess I forgot to mention that tiny detail: I want the hero to actually build the structure, or in other words, have the construction depend on the hero spending time using his repair ability to complete the construction. Otherwise, yeah, the tiny building abilities would be ideal. So some other ideas I've half tried are those of using a custom healing ability that "heals" structures and mechanical units. So, as soon as the started construction site get's full hp, I can then execute a trigger that completes its constuction. However, due to some limitations with triggers and also some animation issues, that option isn't ideal for the type of polish that I want the end result to have. So, I wonder if there are still some options I haven't considered. Any more suggestions are more than welcome!!! |
