how to specify where units can return gold to

radeonmaster · Oct 26, 2009

So, here's what I want to do:

I want to make it so a certain type of worker unit can only return gold to one kind of building. Let's say I want Peon A to only return gold to Building A. I don't want him to be able to return gold to any building with the "return gold and lumber ability".

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Maybe (not sure) you could add restrictions to the return gold & lumber ability so that Building A has a specific classification and Building B has another, so that the ability would only allow the worker unit to return resources to a certain building with a certain classification. You should also take note how the classifications would affect the buildings. Let's say I used earthquake on a building and it doesn't work because of a classification the building has and the ability doesn't have.

that could work. if it doesn't you could maybe do it with triggers, but that would be sort of difficult as well.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean about restrictions and classifications. How would I try the method you suggested?

A doodle-head's Summary:

Make the gather resource(s) abilities have classifications so that they resources can only be returned to buildings that have the classification.

By classification he means this value in Object Editor Stats - Unit Classification of the Drop-Off building
and the Ability Return Resources(Either it's Gold, Lumber or both) Stats - Targets Allowed value.

A simple way:
One building = Town hall
One building = Ancient
Ability Name = Return Resources
Return Resources > Stats - Targets Allowed
Edit Stats - Targets allowed to etiher Ancient or town hall
Give both buildings the return gold lumber ability.
Done.
