Raise Dead has no range?

[AgentPaper]

In a map I'm working on, I have a structure casting raise dead. It works fine, however I am getting a very strange problem, basically the ability has no range. Everything else about the ability works, but the spell can only be used if the building is actually touching the corpse. I've tried changing the ability's range, AoE, and missile speed, but nothing affects it at all. The only thing I can think of that might be making the problem is that the unit casting it is a structure. Anyone have any ideas?

It might be it. Structures are unable to move, so that should be the problem. In case this doesn't work, I'll make a detailed search at WE.

You could create a dummy unit next to the building and have it cast the ability for you.

Figured out the problem. The structure casting the ability had had an acquisition range of 0, and apparently that was making the spell have less range as well. Strange, as I don't think this affects other spells the same way, but I can't be sure. Anyways, it works perfectly now.

Just make a dummy ability with all the standard tooltips that has no effect and costs the same mana, and set the mana cost to zero for the real ability that the dummy's casting. There isn't any other real way that I can think of.
