How can this be done?

I need to gain lumber instead of gold when acotyle(s) are on gold mine. I tried to somehow detect when it mines the gold, but couldnt do it...

It may not be possible to edit Gold Mines or the Gold Mine ability to provide lumber instead of gold.

Try copying a tree destructible, applying the gold mine model to it, and give it the maximum hit points; also add the Harvest (Ghoul's Lumber) ability to the Acolytes. Adjust each and every object editor field that causes conflicts.

This (potential) solution does not take into account haunting/summoning the "Lumber Mine." You may need to do some fancy trigger editing to make everything work properly.

Not at all a good idea, but just use a periodic event that sets the current gold amout to a variable, removes that amount from the player's gold, and gives that much as wood to the same player. You will need as many variables as you have players though, or jsut use an array. Like is said, not good because it might casue lag.

Try swapping gold with lumber? Just change the icon and tooltip in gameplay constants.

This may not be a real solution, but there aren't really much of any other way.

You could use the Wisp's gather lumber ability and just replace the model of the tree with a gold mine.

That seems like a harmless easy way to do it.

He already said that he wanted them to stay at the summoning locations the acolytes sit in when gathering.
