Harvest Nearby Lumber

[RontoKing]

When I order a unit to harvest nearby lumber, if it's too far from the nearest tree it just sits there doing nothing. At least that's how it seems to me.
So, is there any way to increase the 'sight range' for harvesting lumber? I know that it's possible by looping though every tree's distance and comparing them through triggers, but in my map there are plenty of harvesters and I'm afraid it might cause a lot of lag that way.

if you order with triggers there's noting such as sight range.

A fail safe would be a staggered worker idle detection. If you detect an idle worker you then look for a nearby tree. This process can also be staggered to avoid lag. If the systems are separated you can have the idle worker detection add workers to a tree finder which will order all of them to trees when any are found.

Thanks for trying to help, but in the end I just set the rally point for the structure that trains the harvesters closer to the trees. Problem solved! This thread can be closed now...
