How can I making mining gold "mine" lumber too?

[Pyroflame]

I'm new to the map editor and I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Can anyone help?

well i suppose you could use triggers, for every gold you collect you collect an amount of lumber too

That sounds great. I haven't learned entirely about them yet, but I know what your saying.

How would I go about setting up a trigger. I know I would need to press F4 to bring up the trigger editor then CTRL-E to bring up a new trigger. I have no idea how to code that though. In pseudo it would be something like?

if gathered gold
then wood +1
