[Trigger] Auto Harvest

[EndOfWorld]

• Unit - Order Unit to harvest near wood

(This action may be spelled wrong, since my WE is not english.)

Is it possible to increase the range of this action?
The standart range is 2000, but I want my peasants to search for the next tree to harvest, even if the tree is on the other side of the map.

I'm not sure, but until someone answers, perhaps take a look into your "Gameplay Constants" for something of relevance.

I'm not sure if you can alter it but you can look for trees by looping through the destructibles in the map.

I guess you could do something like this, if u want to use triggers to do this

• Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Harvest (Random destructible in (Playable map area))

but im a noob with triggers, im sure there is better ways. maybe looking for destructible within range of the harvester then make him harvest nearest?

Anyways

If you dont want to use triggers, follow these steps

1. Open the Object Editor
2. Go to the Abilities Tab
3. Go to the Special Folder
4. Go to the Units Folder
5. Click on Harvest Gold and Lumber
6. Change the value Stats - Area of Effect to 99999

Done

When a peasant finishes a tree it will move to the next one (within a 99999 range) wich should be big enough for a 256x256 map

Thank you for your help.
@Radicool
I have already tried to like in the Gameplay Constants, of course. There is nothing helpful.

@deathismyfriend
Yes, this would be a good solution if the number of peasants who need to loop wasn't up to 25 per second. Of course, loops would work, but its too much lag for my map.

@RollingDoubles
This doesn't work for me, since my peasants do not work automatically.
But that's too complicated to explain.

However, I have found a good solution for now.
Thanks everyone for your help.

In case your solution doesn't work, here's something which may help you if you use JNPG: I inquired about a similar question in a thread and it could come in handy for you.

You can pick the nearest tree with this trigger, even if it's all the way across the map, and order your peasant to go harvest it.

Yea, I saw your thread
I also tried the Jass function GetClosestWidget by Spinnaker
but it just lagged harder than my Loop
