I'm trying to make my new harvester collect only gold from the gold mine, but not be able to collect lumber. How do I do this? I tried looking through all the natural abilities options and couldn't find anything :banghead:
 
Make a copy of the "Harvest Gold/Lumber" ability and set the fields for lumber all to 0.
Its all there in the ability.

Thanks, I just noticed it's possible to edit abilities :). Another question, how do I make it so that if player is not playing, their character gets deleted? Or if a character is playing, creeps are made?
 
You can check whether a player is playing via triggers.

There are conditions for whether the player is in the game and if it is an actual "human" player or an AI controlled player slot.

How exactly would I do that? I set up a condition saying If Player (Blue) control = to none
In action:
Unit: Kill (whatever creeps I selected)
and it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Do I need an event?

Never mind, added Map Initialization to event and it worked :)
 
Okay, so I had said it worked. And it did. However, when I added forces so that players 1-4 are allys, the trigger stopped working. How come?

Also, when sending out zombies to attack my towers I have my towers in this format:
lXXXXXXXl X = Wall
lOOOOOOl O = Attack tower
lXXXXXXXl l = doodad used for path

With the towers in the middle attacking the zombies, they don't attack the wall at all, just keep searching for a way to the tower (which there is none) to destroy them. What do I do to fix this?

Also, In the region "Zombie Spawner" where the zombies are created, a trigger makes all units in region "zombie spawner" to move-attack a region. Although when the wave is only 10 zombies, all 10 come. With 20, sometimes 5 or so stay behind. Why? And how to fix?

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
