Gold mine's

Well, i'm trying to make a map where the original gold mine needs to be built from a gold vein, and that the peasants can't mine the gold vein but can build the mine on it. Don't understand?
Let's say:
Peasant is A
Gold Mine is B
Haunted Gold mine is C

I want A to be able to get gold from C but not from B. And i want A to build C in B before he can mine C.
I for example, gave C the gold mine ability, A the harvest gold and lumber ability and B entangled gold mine ability.

But this doesn't works, any ideas?

well you could make the gold viens blight, and base a custom goldmine (dunno if you can do that but try it anyways) to be based off of a undead building it should work but youd have to change how blight look for it to be right... emote_sweat

Upgrade would be the best you could do probably.

I'm gonna do what you sugested, make gold veins capturable by players and then you can build the mine over it, thanks for the idea.:D

Give the Peasants the "Entangle" ability, and change the name of "Entangled Gold Mine" to "Gold Vein".

I've never gotten custom Gold Mine alterations like Haunted Gold Mine or Entangled Gold Mine, or even a custom Gold Mine. Has anyone else, or is there something you need to edit?

Some info for the peopple that are trying to do something like i wanted to:

You cannot create new gold mine abilities, i tryed to make one gold mine ability which no peons could go into the mine and it gave me a critical error on the map loading.

You cannot make the base gold mine have entangled or haunted gold mine abilities and then make the other (any other mines) have the gold mine ability if you want to haunt or entangle the first gold mine to transform into the second (it says it can't use a haunted/entangled) gold mine

The only way (that i know) is with upgrades (this will take at least 3 triggers, i think). And thanks fear factor, who gave the idea.:D
