Problems catching Acolyte Gather Gold ability

[vilaemail]

Hi, I want to catch event when Acolyte starts gathering gold. But, this trigger isn't working:

• PlayerActionGather
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Gather (Acolyte Gold)
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: yeeee

Any suggestions?

Sincerely,
Filip.

Wel I have tested it out just myself and it seems that some abilities in the object editor just can't be detected just as simple as some of the others.....
I can detect the start of what your saying with orders but I can't detect after it started.
I will continue my search and get back to you on this.
It sucks not all abilities are actually abilities but something else...

Edit: I have found a working method so far, but you must detect it through not a ability but through the amount of gold a player currently has.
So basically you got 0 gold then you get 10 gold and it detects it then which means you must determine exact additions if you choose to edit the gather ability.

Trigger For Detection so far...
Player's current gold becomes equal to real players current gold + 10.00

I will try different ways such as actual detection of the gather ability but I really doubt it since what I discovered that it isn't really a ability but still is and it isn't casted as a ability in the game meaning triggers have a hard way of detection.
I do have another way which is manipulation of the orders which might provide a second way.

Edit: I have found a second detection method as it appears that gather and harvest abilities are not actual abilities but really orders which is interesting for me because I can find more now .

The second method is the manipulation of the smart order which is two things really, it is a way of detection of the mouse while also I just found out it is a detection of some abilities such as the hidden abilities such as gather or harvest and maybe more.

It seems I can only detect the order periodically.

Your best chance is to go with the gold method since the orders seem to be denying use...

I will try to find different ways, sorry if I wasn't much help.

OK, thank you, I'll do that
