Gold Harvesting Speed

[$HAZM]

Hello,

I'm working on a new map and I have increased the movement speed of gold harvesters, in this case peasants. They are very fast now. The problem I am having is once I start mining, they slow right down to a crawl. I read someone that this was a fix blizzard did early on in the game to prevent an exploit where people were using farms in the paths of goldmines to increase mining speed. I'm wondering how to turn off this "fix" in the world editor, so that my peasants mine at movement speed.

Thank you,
$hazm.

It's tied to their internal code, so as far as I am aware, not tamper-able. It might be possible to reset movement speed on order change.

I actually managed to fix this problem. The biggest issue I was having was that once the peons slowed down I could select them and right click on the mine and they sped back up again. So someone could mine faster with mico. It was a broken system and unacceptable.

My fix was to draw a region around each gold mine on the map that barely extended outside the bounds of the mine. Then made a trigger where any time a unit entered the region there would be a right click action targeting the gold mine. Kept them constantly mining at movement speed. Hopefully this help anyone with a similar problem.
