Distance Required Between Gold Mines & Return Buildings

[Silverfish423]

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding reducing the distance required between gold mines and their respective return buildings. Anyone who has played a melee map understands this distance that I am talking about. Well, in my map, the buildings are scaled down a lot, as well as their pathing map, so it looks foolish to have the buildings required so far away from the gold mines. Is there a way to change this?
Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Nvm, doesn't work.

Isn't this hardcoded, so that the fixed distance won't affect the gold's income rate?

Haha, yeah you are right. My mistake. I changed the pathing map and it allowed me to place my town hall closer, but as soon as I tested it ingame, it shoved my town hall away. xD

Oh man...its hardcoded?? Dangit....
Is it possible to artifically simulate mining a gold mine via triggers?

A custom gold-mining system, I suppose. It's the Gold mine ability that defines the gold mine itself, so that one must be the hardcoded issue.

Only possible known way to do this is attached below.

@Rub:
Well, that would be fine if the players in my map didnt have to make buildings near the gold mines...but they do :/

Make the goldmines before the start of building with correct math or make a goldmine unit that could present new idea's, like a moving mine or what you seem to want.

the path doesnt affect what i am trying to accomplish. and a moving mine would not work in my map.
Well thanks everyone, but I think I will do something else. The gold mine is hardcoded and making my work hard.
Well thanks everyone!

There is several ways you can trick the eye and as knowing this there is ways to get around hardcoded blocks.
