I want a unit that can mine from gold mines similar to wisps. I tried a few different methods, but I'm not sure what the various abilities an entangled gold mine and the wisps themselves actually do. Basically I just want gold mines (custom, whatever) that I can place on the map, and the players can make units that can get gold from them without needing and other buildings or anything. A description of why an entangled gold mine has the ablities it has would be nice too, I could probably figure it out from there. |

Entangled Gold Mine has four abilities needed for mining:
Note: Names may be not exact, because I don't have English version. Load (Entangled Mine) is just a basic load ability. You can change capacity if you like (maximum is 10). Unload (Entangled Mine) - this ability allows unloading all units at once - it is not really needed but makes unloading more convenient Load Wisp - this determines type of unit which is allowed to enter mine Entangled Mine Ability is main mining ability, you can change amount of gold harvested and interval (interval also depends on number of workers in the mine) If you want custom mine just base it on Entangled Mine, alter these abilities and possibly create a new worker unit which will harvest gold from it. |

Okay, I got all that working how I want. I have two more questions however: This is just an odd thing, but, the units I have to harvest (based off of wisp) go into the mine, and resources are generated just fine. It says "Mine is already Entangled" though. Everything works, it just says that. The other thing is, you have to own the mine for it to work. While this is fine, this map will have some melee elements in it, and owning mines doesn't really make sense. I'm going to tweak with the targetting though and I see what I can do. |
