Healing while walking

[ffm2]

During spectating I saw that some healers where healing while gliding. I don't know if they actually healed or had the animation running while they where walking or so. I can not reproduce this. I tried:

• Healing while different units walk away. The healer stops.
• 50 skirm + 10 healers vs 50 skirm + 10 healers: All stoned the healing process when units walk out of range. The walking begins.
• Capturing a building in a group

This is what I saw:

 

This is my attempt:

I have found the replay. I thought it was a late join or so. But I have the full replay. About at min 18 2 healers begin this gliding-healing.

I think this is an animation issue; the healing animation is rather long although the health gain is instant. If the unit moves slightly (not run away like your jav) while the healing animation is playing, the healer is still stuck in the healing animation which doesn't involve its feet. Therefore it looks like gliding. It's nothing major though, healing mechanism is still working as intended

 The 2 healers heal each other from near death, gain rank 3 and from that point on gain the ability to float-heal (as I see it). It's definetly not just animation. One can see that the health bar goes up while the other healer is moving.

The rank up shouldn't matter, tho might have it's own issues, but the float-heal is certainly real.

The video made it apparent that the healer is actually sliding on the ice. I guess the fix will be putting some spikes on his shoe model.
