Detecting when a unit returns gold

[DeepThought]

Basically, I want to make a trigger that detects when a unit returns the gold that it gathered from a gold mine to it's base, so I can display a message and do a bunch of other stuff. How would I do this?

You need 2 triggers for this:

• Events
  • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set YourIntegerVariable = (Player 1 (Red) Current gold)

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red)'s Current gold becomes Greater than (Real((Player 1 (Red) Current gold)))
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players the text: (You have recieved + ((String(((Player 1 (Red) Current gold) - YourIntegerVariable))) + ( you now have + (String((Player 1 (Red) Current gold ))))))
    • Set YourIntegerVariable = (Player 1 (Red) Current gold)

The problem with that is, if the player kills a creep and gets the bounty from it, the trigger will also fire. I don't think there is a clean way to do what you want, unfortunately.

Oh, you're right.
Didn't tought about the bounty lol.

Well if you have a gatherer, then you could use 2 regions on the main building, so it's doable if you want to detect gathers only.

just put a some condition like an if then else.
if:
Dying unit is equal to (creepX)
Action - Then
Do nothing
Action - Else
The text message

Do not know if it will work, took it from the top of my head, but hopefully it will. maybe by making a different condition, checking if someone died if possible.

Also if you plan to have to many creeps:

A=The trigger u are asking for

Event:
A unit dies
Condition:
Dying unit equal to (CreepX)
Action:
Trigger - Turn off (A)
add 10 to P1 current gold
Trigger - Turn on (A)

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Goldmine
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Miner
  • Actions
    • Your Actions Here

It will leak, but maybe you can base it upon this.
