Help with "Haunted gold mine"

[_lycan]

okay so i'm making my starcraft map and zerg are based of night elfs terran from orcs and protoss from humans the problem is that.

vespene geiser is based of gold mine and drones scv and probes got the colect gold ability from acolyte.

but when i click to build the refinery(example) the path tells me i can build there and all but then when they get close they just don't build it..

could someone help with this?.

Make sure the refinery has "Stats - Can Build On" set to "True" and the geyser has "Stats - Can Be Built On" set to "True".

I'm not sure if haunted gold mines can even be summoned with non-undead build type.

ok the refinery and those didn't have that but even when i clicked in true still can't build :S

bump..

managed to do it without haunted gold mine (used a building of a race for each)
but now i've noticed that the vespene gas stays at the bottom , the white effect like aura appears at the side of the vespene gas + workers stay at the gold mine instead of returning (it works like it's a normal haunted gold mine) , but if i use normal gold mine ability workers will be able to use also normal vespene gas and not build the refinery.....

Use triggers to remove the vespene geyser and refinery when a refinery is created and instead create a refinery with the normal gold mine ability. When the refinery dies create a vespene geyser at its location.

yeah the problem is that if i do that with normal gold mine ability , that would mean the scv would get normal gold and if i do that means that it can also take gold from normal vespene gas. see what i mean? .

...No, I have no idea what you mean.

Remove the gold mine ability from the vespene geyser.

but if i do that then i won't be able to haunt it because it won't be a gold mine.

Did you tryed to make switch? For e.g.:

When unit ends to build hunted gold mine (dummy unit(flying, no paths)) remove it, gold mine and place the real hunted gold mine.

or:

Remove gold mines at all. Make some terrain modifications at places where you can gather gas (for e.g. no grass here). Replace building hunted mine with regular goldmine. And when someone trys to build goldmine somwhere else, abort it.

i was thinking about this but it would be too much trubble just for the vespene gas. i will add that later .

It would be more like in SC. Drones was moveing between Hive and Extractor...
