Harvest Gold Like Insane Computer

[akat]

Hi,

I'm new to the Editor and need some help. I want to have the player do harvesting like the insane computer, where it gains 20 gold for every 10 gold taken out of the mine. How do I do this? I have looked at Triggers but don't quite understand which events/conditions/actions to use, so if you could spell this out for me, I'd great appreciate it.

Thanks

Edit the ability "Harvest".

its different abilities for each race....

orc and humans have "Harvest"
elves have something else as does undead..

No. I don't want to just change it so peasants can mine 20 gold. I want to be able to get 20 gold out of every 10 gold taken from the mine - like the Insane Computer. How do I do that? We can even restrict it to Humans, if that's easier.

You could make a separate harvest ability for each race (that harvests 20 instead of 10) and add it to the worker units. Then disable the +10 harvests for you and disable the +20 harvests for all other players. That will leave you with the +20 harvest and enemies with the +10. You should also be able to trigger extra gold whenever a unit uses harvest.

There's isn't a way to detect when a player harvests gold (at least not with GUI triggers). That makes it impossible to trigger. But you can increase the amount of gold a worker can bring back by editing the ability. You can also double the amount of gold in the gold mine with this action:

• Neutral Building - Add gold to Gold Mine

that's just one of the inherit properties of an insane computer; I don't think you can easily replicate it for a person, I think the best thing would be to find out how many peasants are harvesting from a specific gold mine at one time, make them carry 20 each time, and add 10 each 3 seconds or so to the gold mine for each peasant harvesting gold from there
