How do you change the amount of gold (or rate) players harvest/gather from gold mines

EDIT: SOLVED

This sounds likes it would be a simple thing to do, but I cannot figure it out. I've spent quite some time searching the net. So far I've read a lot of posts about people wanting to know how to change the total amount of gold a gold mine contains, but that's not my problem.

I want to be able to change the amount of gold that the player receives while they are mining/gathering. For example, right now the player gets 10 gold per trip (if they are human/orc) or 10 gold every 5 seconds (if they are undead/nightelf). I'd like to be able to change that.

I did find a FAQ that included this as one of the questions, but it wasn't specifically answered. The answer just said it was a Gameplay Constant... but I can't find it.

Thanks in advance.

Go to the object editor/abilities.
Find harvest (Gold and lumber) under the "Special/Units" folder in the left of the screen.
Then scroll down to Data and set your own numbers

I appreciate the very quick reply.

Anyway, I've tried that, but it doesn't change anything. I still only get 10 gold per second (tested with Undead).

That's probably because Acolytes uses "Gather (Acolyte Gold)" hence that's the ability you want to edit
Harvest (Gold and lumber) is for peasants.

Yup. Tried that too. Any other ideas? What if I tried creating a trigger? I tried, but I don't know how to create an event that would detect when a player's unit was mining/harvesting.

That's really odd. I have just tested the ability "Harvest (Gold and lumber)". I set the harvest amount to 100 and I received 100 gold when the peasant returned to the townhall.

Edit:

As for undead you want to change the "Undead/Units/Blighted Gold Mine Ability" - "Data - Gold per Interval"

Solu, if it still doesn't work then try adding a map and the object editor will have pink to show him.

Here is a test map you can have a look and play around with. It has:
-Up to 8 Acolytes are able to mine from the Haunted Gold Mine.
-All workers will harvest 100 gold instead of 10 gold.

On a side note. DON'T try to entangle the Gold Mine in the lower right corner with the nearby Tree of Life. The specific Tree of Life has a customized entangle ability which was supposed to turn the Gold Mine into a farm once done. This will however freeze the game. It was just not ment to be.

Hope it solves your problem

This worked! Thank you! I was also able to find the similar section for the Night Elf race.

There's a World Editor FAQ that's been spread around that has a question about this but doesn't answer it properly. Sure wish it people would fix that.

Ah, I just got an email saying that Solu9 posted. Thanks, but I guess the problem is solved now!
