In Operation Flashpoint, setting a unit's damage to a negative value will set it is health to full, but impair their aim.

Using this possible overrides individual hit damages such as setHitPointDamage ["HitHead", _value]; if you're having issues try setting hitdamage after setdamage.

You are able to repair buildings with this command if you just store the original object and use setDamage on this and not on the wreck which is shown after the building was destroyed. This works in debug console when pointing a house: [] spawn { private _house = cursorObject; _house setDamage 1; sleep 5; _house setDamage 0; };
