research for repair weapon purposes Options

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

I recently realised that my deployed units are still repairable with the modile repair vehicle. So i tried to make all other buildings repairable with this too, but without success. It seems that the UndeploysInto= key makes this possible.

The reason why i want this to be possible is either a unit or building that automatically repairs buildings and keeps the base intact, so you don't have to click every few seconds on a slightly damaged building.

The problem i encountered was, that buildings with UndeploysInto= can't be repaired or sold anymore. The repair/sell cursor just don't work on them.
And [IQ] RepairSell=0 isn't an option too, due to the auto sell.
And if i give a building a repair weapon, it only repairs when forced to fire and they don't stop when the building/unit is repaired.

So has anyone any experience in repair weapons, auto repairing buildings etc?

This may be a stupid question, but when testing, did you enable looping or did you decrease the animation rate?
EDIT: Well i tested some things, Sticky=yes does work, but with limitions i guess. I used it on a unit's firing anim, and it stuck indefinitely. So it seems an animation can only stick to its 'owner'.

firing anims like muzzle flash are in general sticky to the unit. They are normaly only so fast that it isn't possible to see them following the unit while it moves.

thanks machine. maybe you find a solution, because i wasn't successful. UndeploysInto= has imo too much negative effects for a good use on normal buildings.
