Detecting Harvest.

[TideOfChaos]

I need a way to detect when I unit 'harvests' a destructible. It doesn't seem to work with any of the "Event - unit casts/channels/stops an ability".

did you try
periodic even and watch the *harvest*

if he suppose to have 100k and now 101k ?

is that what you mean?

Ok, well, when ever a units harvests a tree, run the Trigger.
So basically, I want it to give him an item and remove the lumber.
Each hit, adds one item.
I want it to run when he hits that tree.

Did you try:

Event
A unit is issued an order targeting an object
Conditions
(Destructible-type of (Target destructible of issued order)) Equal to Summer Tree Wall
Actions
blahblahblah


Something like this?

That will trigger the event when you order the unit to harvest.
Not when it is harvesting. There is some time between you order the unit to harvest and the actual harvesting.

So the condition "Ability being cast equals to Harvest" do not work?

Have you tried that theory? If you have not then I suggest you do.

The harvest ability is used upon attack. Why don't you just remove the damn ability all together and just detect the unit's attack.

Same events and conditions as above just add the "Unit-type equals to peasant" condition and your set. No need to remove the lumber either!

His theory is correct.

>just detect the unit's attack.

You can't detect a unit hitting a destructable. Not directly, anyway.

Maybe this trigger will help:

• test
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(harvest))
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Harvesting

I tested it, and it works. The only problem is that it triggers twice: when the unit targets a tree and when it returns the lumber to the townhall. And it triggers also on goldmines.
I'm digging into it to find a sollution

No... It runs when you right click on a tree, this is ISSUED an order, not actually casting it.
