Let Restoration self-target

I know it's possilbe to make ALL orders able to self-target via Firegraft's Exe Edits. But that solution also allows self-targeting Yamato Gun etc. I just want self-targeting for the Restoration spell. Is it possible, through coding in GPTP maybe?

Maybe in hooks/recv_commands/receive_command.cpp ?
There's a CanTargetSelf, maybe skipping it (making it as if it returned true) if the mainOrderId is Restoration would be enough?

Excellent, it now works: Restoration can self-target, but Yamato etc. can't! Thank you very much!
Here's the modified beginning of the CanTargetSelf function in receive_command.cpp:
Code
bool CanTargetSelf(CUnit* unit, u8 orderId) {

    bool return_value;

    /////// OWN // -------
    if (orderId == OrderId::Restoration)
        return_value = true;
    else
    /////// OWN Ende -------
    if(
        unit->status & UnitStatus::GroundedBuilding &&
      [...]

^^Additional note for future beginner searchers: I had to use orderID instead of MainOrderID

I also attached the modified receive_command.cpp (& modified game_hooks.cpp that makes Restoration heal hp) for future visitors.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
