Gold mine recharge

[Lavarider]

Ok everyone, here is what I would like to do. I should warn you that I am an ultra noob at triggers, so be nice, ok? Anyway, I want to make an ability called deep vein drilling. Basically, the ability would, when activated, cause any gold mine owned by the player to discover a new "vein" upon emptying and refill to half (6250), but only once for each mine, and only for the player who both controls the mine and researched the ability. I know that I need to detect when a mine is depleted, if I researched the ability, which player I am, which mines I own, and run a trigger to recharge them, but I have no idea how.

Ok i have two solutions for you, because your text have somehow no logic at some points:

Solution 1: A building, that have a research. If you research this, all mines of the triggering Player refiles there gold to 6250.

Solution 2: Every gold mine has an ability, that refiles the gold up to 6250.

Ok wait, so if I am reading this right.... The first solution, first action, if I research the research on the gold mine itself, then the game will add 6250 gold to the mine's current total? Im going to go test that now, because I didnt know you could add to a mine and if you can, that's even better than my original idea!
