Harvesting

[doom_sheep]

problem: a unlimited number of workers can harvest a tree. gold mines hide the units and i don't want that.

basically i need it to work like it does in SC. ideas?

So instead of this:

r = resource
w = worker

r r r r
w w w w

You want it potentially like this:

w w w
w r w
w w w

Am I right?

swap the UI icons and texts for gold and lumber

it normally works like that. i need it to be limited.

gold mines hide units which is gay and unwanted

so what do you want? Peasants hacking away at the outside of a goldmine?

normal harvesting of trees but with limit of how many can harvest a single tree at once.

So instead of having unlimited peasants being able to harvest the tree, you want only "X". Well that can be triggered if that's what you want. I don't know of any gameplay constants that could change that behavior.

yeah, i need advice on how best to trigger it.

you said like starcraft
I never played starcraft I but in starcraft II workers are eaten by vespine geysers

it is quite complicated to check if a unit stops harvesting a tree
also it is not easy to check if a unit switches its tree because it is blocked

i was referring to minerals which limit the number of workers harvesting a single one.
