Houses Generating Income

[Arumen]

Hello all- I just joined this forum and I love the images and such that it has in it, but I simply do not understand the coding in the map maker. Can anyone tell me how to set it so that certain buildings slowly generate income a-la Tree Tag or Pimp my Murloc.

I am building a Melee map that has twice as many unit options and new abilities for each race, but I really want to make it so that the human houses, orc burrows, etc can produce additional resources.

Also, does anyone know how to set it so that buildings have gold that can be mined from them?

For the first thing, you have to trigger all.. create a variable (integer type) and store the income points to it. You can use an periodic trigger to check how many buildings the players own and set the variable to the value you want (like he owns 5 houses, that gave 2 income each, so the trigger will store 10 into the variable). After that give the value within the variable to the specific player. If a building gets destroyed the trigger will notice it, too.

Trigger coul look like this:

Event: Each x seconds of Game time (each time, when you want to give the income)
condition:
action: Loop with Integer A (looping this to have one trigger for each player)
- Select each units owned by Player A of type XYZ (your buildings)
- Variable[A] = amount of picked units of type X * 2 income
- Variable[A] = Variable[A] + amount of picked units of type y * 5 income
- etc.
Give Player[A] "Variable[A]" amount of gold to it's existing gold

there should be similar triggers and actions, dunno the exact ones, gl!


For the other thing, you just need to base your building on the normal mine (i believe there's also some ability or something like that to use it, but it's easier to copy the mine). Just copy it and change the options to your needs, like model, amount of gold that can be mined, etc.
