Custom Resources

[Cheekything]

Hey so I'm working on my map again however I'm having trouble with resources.

I made my resource by copying vespane and removing the require building part and replaced the model as a tree.

I then copied an SCV and well it works they go mine and return and it give me minerals (wood/lumber).

However I don't get the minerals appearing above the worker as it returns and I also cant return the workers early.

Does anyone know the effect/behaviours/events that allow you get it to appear.

Also in debugging I noticed even a normal svc, mineral field and command center do not show it as well.

The art of the worker carrying the resource is done by a combination of behaviours and actor events.

Seems I needed a text actor (had some from a friend) and then link it via the event of the behaviour when it ends.

Apparently SC2 doesn't show resource collection normallly like WC3.

This isn't really about custom resources so much as getting a mining animation to work... right? Your last reply in this thread makes me wat.
