Try this:

• Income
  • Events
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- This trigger requires 1 unit group variable (TempGroup) --------
    • -------- We are setting a variable to avoid leaks --------
    • Set TempGroup = (Units of type Farm)
    • -------- Now, picking every farm and giving gold to its owner --------
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Add 1 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold
    • -------- Clearing group variable to avoid leaks --------
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)
    • -------- Basicaly, this trigger gives 1 gold to each player for every farm every 10 seconds --------

Shorter:

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Farm) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player - Add 1 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold

lulz

ok guys that doesnt have ANYTHING to do with the farm... All you are doing is selecting units, then giving gold. You have to set a variable to the number of units type of farm owned by player 1 that are alive, then multiply that by the income per farm (in this case 1 so dont multiply) then you have to set player 1 gold to player 1 current gold plus the variable you just made.

Heres the trigger:

• Actions
  • Set Farms = (Number of living Farm units owned by Player 1 (Red))
  • Player - Set Player 1 (Red) Current gold to ((Farms x 1) + (Player 1 (Red) Current gold))

If you created upgraded farms that provided additional income (and food) you can change the (Farms x 1) to (Farms x 2) or 3 or whatever. I just put the x 1 there cuz if the farm gives anything but 1 income you need it, but if ur only doin 1 income you dont. You will have to make this for each player too (in same trigger just copy the actions and change player 1 to player 2, etc)

Why even use a variable? Because of leaks? Because of readability? (not sarcastic)

Mine and Squiggy's way is better because you can add floating text above every farm much easier.

Variable is used to clear memory leak caused by Unit Group.

Actually pick every unit and do X is a looping function that repeats the trigger for each unit. So it does practically the exact same thing as your considerably longer trigger. And why would you use set property instead of add property...? Though you are right about the group being better as only living units. So,

• Farmz
  • Events
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Farm) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))) and do (Player - Add 1 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold)

That'll work fine. Try it yourself. Plus, your way would have to be done individually for every player in the game.

Wolfman, I'm afraid the others are right, as, though your way works, you can do more with the others' ways and do just the same in terms of adding gold per farm.

Well idk i read a post on income like this before and it said to do it the long way with variables. Yeah i just tried the way you said and it works O.O ...so much time wasted.... lol

[wolfman]
