Builder doesn't complete build

I'm making a tower defense map and have a builder that can build towers [like every other td :p] but when he builds the tower, it will start to build, show up on the ground, but never finish. The build time on the tower is set to 1. I thought it was maybe because my builder hovers above the ground so as to get around the map easily. Any ideas?
 
if your builder is human race you got to add the 'repair human' skill to him.
 
Thankyou. it worked, although i had to change a night elf builder to a human builder. Anyways, ty for the help ^^ -props-

It didnt work for me... I have a gryphon rider, with the human reapair ability and he still doesnt finish his towers :banghead:
What else can i try?
Cheers :thup:
 
This works for me:

Trigger:
  • Instant Build
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Begins construction
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set Constructingbuilding = (Unit-type of (Constructing structure))
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Constructing structure)) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Set point = (Position of (Last created unit))
      • Unit - Kill (Constructing structure)
      • Unit - Create 1 Constructingbuilding for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at point facing Default building facing degrees


This only works for buildings that are 2x2 in size,

TIP: make the builder and dummy (ofc) have '0' in collision size. And remove the animation when the unit dies. ( Art - Special ) :thup: :D

I'm proud of myself :p

Did you give the Gryphon the Worker classification
 
Did you give the Gryphon the Worker classification

This doesn't do anything except make the unit not auto-attack, and add the idle worker icon.

Make sure the towers have the Mechanical Classification

This would also be needed. A unit cannot be repaired unless it is a mechanical unit.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
