how can i make a building increase income

[andreasaspenberg]

i mean a bit like the refinery, lumber mill and keep in warcraft 2.

 

[Spartipilo]

Eh... give more details.

What do you mean with Income? What exactly you want to achieve?

 

[Chaosy]

i think he means taht every X soconds all players get X gold based on building and other factors.

• income change
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Lumber Mill
  • Actions
    • Set income[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (income[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + 10.00)

• loop
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Add (Integer(income[(Player number of (Picked player))])) to (Picked player) Current gold

i want the players to get extra gold for transporting the gold to a certain building. the night elves and undead will get some kind of upgrade instead but how do i upgrade the gold extraction of a haunted gold mine.

I don't know if there's a "Gold" upgrade... This is the best solution I can give you:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching (((Race of (Matching player)) Equal to Undead) or ((Race of (Matching player)) Equal to Night Elf))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set p = (Picked player)
        • Set pn = (Player number of p)
        • Set i[pn] = ((p Current gold) + Income[pn])
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (p Current gold) Greater than CurrentGold[pn]
          • Then - Actions
            • Player - Set p Current gold to i[pn]
          • Else - Actions
        • Set CurrentGold[pn] = (p Current gold)

This should check every 0.03 seconds the current gold of the Players, and sets that gold into a Integer Variable (Current Gold). When your workers gets the gold, the current gold of the player will be higher than the Gold the player had 0.03 seconds, then, and the trigger will add your income amount (won't display it though).

All these variables are "Integer" if you see them having a '[]' it's because they're an array.
You just have to

You just have to set the trigger that increases "Income[Player Number]" of the player you want to increase income.

---

Another solution wold be messing with the workers harvest abilities and finding a way to replace it or give some other values...

 

[andreasaspenberg]

there isnt a gold upgrade but i can create it. it is one of the unused upgrade possibilities. i dont however know how to apply it to the undead.

 

[Spartipilo]

Look under "Player" actions. I think there's a "Player - Set research level" Do it under the 'Race' comparison, as showed in my trigger example.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the undead can research but i dont know how to apply a gold mining upgrade to them.

 

[Spartipilo]

Dear lord...

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching ((Race of (Matching player)) Equal to Undead)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Set the current research level of Unholy Armor to 1 for (Picked player)

Change "Unholy Armor" for your custom upgrade, and the Race of Matching Player to whatever you want.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

if you cant help me but must harass me please leave this topic alone. i still dont know how to add a gold upgrade to the undead. i dont need script to research something because the undead can research. i dont however know how the amount of gold produced by a haunted gold mine can be upgraded through research.

 

[Chaosy]

I know how to do this.

i did modify the human upgrade improve lumber harvest.
change the "effect 1" from "lumber harvest" to gold harvest"
now the peasant will gather 15 gold.
bellow the edited field there is 2 new rows called effect 1 also ther you edit the base gold collected.


NOTE, i think the ability give 50% bonus collecting of the base gold collected

 

[Spartipilo]

OH! I'm sorry andreasaspenberg. I didn't understand what you were saying =). Good to know Darkgrom found a solution.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i have done that thing myself but i couldnt figure out how to add the same kind of bonus to undead. only humans, orcs and night elves. that is what i need help with. adding a gold mining bonus to undead.

 

[Chaosy]

copy>pase the ability and change race to undead?

EDIT there is a common slection at race i think that might work

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i know that that wont help because race only decides what menu the upgrade appears on. (upgrades with human as race have worked on all races.) what it affects is decided by assigning the upgrade to units. my problem is that i cant figure out what units to assign it to to get it to increase the amount of gold extracted.

 

[Spartipilo]

I think units have a Data Field to tell wich upgrades affects them. Also buildings have a field to tell which upgrades can be researched there.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i know that already. buildings also have a field that tell what upgrades they are affected by. what i need to know is what unit or building i need to affect in order to increase gold mined from the haunted gold mine.

 

[Spartipilo]

Workers...?

Undead = Acolyte?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i tried that but it didnt work.

 

[BonerBoo]

Hey how to create add(integer) in your last trigger ?

 

[Chaosy]

you mean my trigger?

EDIT ahh now i get it i will attatch the map at this post soon

 

[Dr Super Good]

Try the actual haunted gold mine itself. If that fails the upgrade just must not be compatible with that type of harvesting.

 

[Rispetto]

Maybe try setting the upkeep values to give more gold instead of taking it?
Dunno I never really modified that kinda stuff in WC3.
Just an idea.
