How to make worker mining via human/orc method not disappear

[SarChasm]

So you know how if you order a Peasant or Peon to mine gold, it goes "into" the mine for a short time, then comes back out? How can you change it so that instead of going inside the mine, the worker simply stands next to it during the duration of "mining time?"

Sounds you want it like having an acolyte do it. Is that what you want?

The problem with Acolytes is that they do not have to return the resources. They can keep mining without making trips back.

Oh, I see. Why do you want that though?

you can reduce the time the worker is in the mine, i believe its the peasant ability of Gold Mine or something, reduce the time in there to .01 sec

That's not the issue however. I'm asking how, instead of having the worker go inside the mine, he stays outside for however long it takes to mine that particular resource. That way you can actually see the worker while he's harvesting.

lulz i guess if anything you could replace the unit when it gets in close range to the min with a unit that has the model of a peasent/peon with the thing of gold and make it target the nearest place, then trade that unit out and make it target the mine :/
