[Trigger] lumber removal systerm

[Epimeliad]

Hi, i got a problem regarding harvesting lumbers from trees.
currently, i got a unit which is able to harvest lumbers BUT i do not want it to return the lumber to me. basically i like a skill which function like harvesting lumber ie; slowly chopping the tree down and move to another tree without returning the lumber.
would appreciate anyone who is able to help me out and preferably in GUI since i dont know JASS. thank in advance

You could make the unit that is chopping that he attacks the tree, and then a trigger when any tree dies orders the unit who killed it to go attack the nearet tree.

you would need to improve this with conditions and everything. but I think something like this

Destructible - A destructible within (Playable map area) dies
Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Attack (Random destructible in (Playable map area))

Don't destructible events only work for the first N destructibles placed in the Editor?

 

[bounty hunter2]

I do not know realy. Haven't used much destructible events.

 

[StaberFire]

I heard something somewhere that destructible events/actions only apply to the first 60-something destructibles you place on the map. I'm really not sure of the number but it's a very bothersome thing to deal with.

Cant you set lumber-return rate to 0?
Or modify the Goblin Shredder, only to give 0, instead of 45.

Else you can set wood to 0, every 0.5 seconds, or such.

 

[Epimeliad]

hmm
that still a problem since
1. lumber return if set to 0 would not work at all.
2. i do use lumber but it given via trigger instead.

How bout this Make the trees targetable by attack on your harvesting unit in object editor. Then make an ability harvest on your harvester using spell channel. Then in trigger do

• event-unit casts an ability
• condition-ability being cast = channel
• action-set temp_unit = closest tree(use a get closest unit jass script modified for trees)
• order unit to attack closest tree

Next

• event-destructible dies
• condition-destructible type = your tree
• action-order killing unit to attack closest tree

Something along those lines. I didnt actually make a trigger that was all in my head. For jass script search it in the jass section.

What about setting the lumber return-rate to the maximum value. And i believe in that ability there is how much lumber the unit will take with each hit, set that to 0?

 

[onix_noob]

i will try to help first tell me how much of those workers will have around the map

i think u mean lumber capacity and damage to tree as there isnt lumber return-rate nor lumber the unit will take with each hit. ps. changing damage to trees to 0 will cause the spell to fail.

well it actually 1 per player so 9 in total. Btw i use hero to clear the trees instead.

Ah okay, then i have no idea.

when there are only 9 units make dummy lumber mills and order them to fallow the harvester and then the harvester will return tree to lumber mill that will be next to him any time ask some one to make it for u if u can't becouse i reinstall my pc and i will install warcraft after new year

the problem is that i do not want the lumber. Having lumber mill belonging to allies will not make the worker deposite the wood there and having it to be owned my the player would make him gain the wood.

then make worker to can carry 999999999999999999999999999 wood and every hit to take 1 wood and it's ok


and event dying destructable work for all destructables but if u make revive system work for first few that die or somthing like that

that caused me to gain 999999lumber after 25 hits.

the second seem ok. but i am not sure if it wont fail. anyway i settle for that =p
thx and....
+ rep all.
pity rep is devalued by competitions where they give insane amt of rep. making +rep from help worthless
