I've created some dark unit, and it dies when healed by my unit. So, I want to get rid of that, but can't figure out what is causing that. I know I have to mess up with tags, but I can't see any flag that makes my unit die by healing. By the way, "Cannot be healed" flag doesn't seem to work.

There's a healing fraction in the main monster window, near flinch fraction and pathfinding radius and stuff. It's probably set to 0.

I always thought it was the "Is undead" flag, but what you're saying makes more sense.

A-Red is correct the heal fraction is what is doing it. It sets how much health a unit has after healing. If it is set to 0 then that is what it has after healing and hence it dies.

Heh, it's so obvious. Thanks, it works fine now

I don't think that's exactly how it works - i.e. if you set a unit's healing fraction to .1 and heal it when at full health, it doesn't lose any (it doesn't go down to .1). It only seems to lose health if it's actually 0 - if it's higher that's the maximum amount of health a unit can have after healing, not the health it's set to after healing.

Yeah, you're certainly right, because you would hurt your units while healing them when their health is full
