Hi,
I am looking for a way to use custom Entangled Gold Mine buildings which are automatically used by AI.
Currently, I have to get all mines and free workers in a periodic timer and order them to use the mine.
Is there any way to let AI know which mines they can use?
I basically copied the Entangled Gold Mine and abilities and use different worker types but the AI does not get it.
 
You could try using the regular goldmine ('ngol') and giving it Entangled Goldmine abilities. Or maybe try using the whisp's Gather ability ('Awha'), or a copy of it, if you aren't already.

In my WC1 map, whenever there was a NE AI (NE is replaced by Human) they wouldn't use the normal goldmines. I had to replace all 'ngol' (regular goldmine) with 'egol' (entangled goldmine), but with abilities removed and changed to normal model. So it looks like there is some hardcoded stuff going on when it comes to AI using goldmines.
