UPDATE:
Solved! The solution is very simple, you must add the ability "Build in Progress" to the Structure, or in this case, the Mothership. Go to your Mothership, open Ability - Abilities+, and add the ability "Build in Progress". Works like a charm.

Hello,
I know this has been asked a million times. I've figured out most of construction. But now, so I can learn it, I'm trying to make a custom construction ability, builder, and building from scratch. Specifically, I am trying to make an Archon build a Mothership in the style of an SCV, that is, the Archon stays and builds until the Mothership is complete. I would also love the Archon to play his attack animation as he builds.
Well, everything works well, except the Mothership is constructed instantly. In the build ability, I have the build time set to 10 seconds; it works fine for other buildings, but this custom stuff is having issues. I've tried experimenting with various Construction actors and their Events, the Mothership Actor Events, and everything else. Does anyone have any idea why my Mothership is constructing instantly? I'm fairly positive it's not my build time, but something having to do with either my Mothership or Construction Actor Events. Thanks for the help.
