Detect when a peasant returns a resource to the town hall?

[Gwafu]

How?

Thanks in advance!

maybe check resources every .5 seconds and if they increase by a fixed amount (how much the peasant returns) and not from bounty or unsummon

just a suggestion

I don't think it's possible to make an accurate detection.

Whenever a unit returns resources to the town hall, it is issued a very specific order id. This can be used to detect resource return, but it fails to be set off if the unit has another order queued to be done after dropping off the gold, such as constructing a house after turning in that 10 wood.

So yeah, a better method is needed. Maybe you could make your own resource gathering system to replace WC3's hard coded one. Replacing stuff allows for a lot more freedom, but it can be difficult to pull off.

Well. I didn't used the crappy ingame build system. I made one myself, so I won't be using the ingame resource too.

It's for a third resource system, so I can't possibly use gold/lumber because it will collide with the third resource.

I'll try to make a custom one, the question is, how to change the animation set of a unit without changing the unit?

Okay, made the first part (harvesting) with right clicking then order to use Channel blah blah. The problem is, peons will cast the spell and hide even though another peon is already mining inside. Is there a way to make the others wait?

Couldn't you just have a trigger that detects when a unit of type peon comes within range of the town hall?

But somebody could glitch it by moving a peon within the range of the town hall.
