Gold from trees

[Drunken_Jackal]

Can you do this: When you chop trees, you obtain gold? If you can what should I do?

Thanks

Hm.

Which of these do you want to do:

1. Make your workers gather gold from trees instead of lumber

2. Make each chop of a tree give you gold, like how Pillage works against buildings

3. Make each tree award a gold bounty when its fully cut down

 

[.Ouch]

Why do you want to do this?
Jsut change the lumber UI into gold then you have it.

Make each chop of tree give you gold, like how pillage works against buildings. Like that.

How?
And it for my map.

How?

Go to Gameplay Constants and scroll to everything related to Gold and Lumber. In the Gold fields, place every Lumber field. E.g. Icon - Gold -> replace it with the icon of the lumber. The categories you should worry are:
1) Icon, 2) Text - General, 3) Text - Message (for gold/lumber messages, e.g. "Not enough gold.")

Not possible without JASS, as there is no detection function for a destructable taking damage, only a destructable dying.

This might work:

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetDestructableTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'LTlt' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call AdjustPlayerStateBJ( 1, GetOwningPlayer(GetAttacker()), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_001 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ATTACKED )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001, Condition( function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001, function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions )
endfunction

But I havent tested it, and don't think it will work. Not sure how units/destructables work, it might not catch a destructable being attacked.

Other way to go is to pick every tree on the map and register an event for them being attacked... again would have to be treated as a unit.

Do what .Ouch said, just change the lumber UI with the gold UI and you have what you want. Use the steps given by Pharaoh.

.Ouch idea is the easiest and best way i think.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

But how do I chop down trees and gain gold?
And can I just make the trees units?

 

[swipe5weep]

Treat the lumber resource as gold, then make the real gold resource into another resource.
Set all the gold costs into lumber cost. Just swap the usage of lumber and gold. Ill try to make a test map when I got home.

Alternatively.

Every 0.1 game seconds
Set LumberX (Integer Variable) to the Player Property (Current Lumber)
Set Player Property (Current Gold) = Arithmetic (Current Gold + LumberX)
Set Player Property (Current Lumber) = Arithmetic (Current Lumber - LumberX)

What this will do, is every 0.1 second of game time, if the player has any lumber, it will be converted into gold. So, your player will never have any lumber, only gold. Don't know if this is of any use, but it is certainly one of the simplest ways of doing things, in my opinion, probably also the most limiting.

Change the gold mine model to the tree you want, and there you go xD

But my lumber is water at my map. And if it reaches 0, you die.

Ok thanks. But is there a command to replace doodads with those units? Since I put a lot of trees in my map already.

 

[ClanOOKARep]

You do it in the Object editor, im not at home but i think its "Model File - " near the top of the stats for the gold mine

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

I know that

 

[SerenityInFire]

Just create neutral units that are trees, and give your peasants a pillage ability that returns gold per attack. You'll have to set a gold cost for your trees so that you get resources back. That should be a feasible workaround.

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

swapping the gold and lumber resources is the easiest solution
replacing all destructables with units won't work cause of the models, lags and many other reasons

back then I made a tree damage detection system
if the first solution does not help you this might do it
