[General] maximum workers harvesting a 'tree'?

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Hi all,

is it possible to make it that only 1 or 2 workers can harvest a 'tree' at the same time? Like in Starcraft 1 where you can only gather a mineral with 1 worker at the same time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsQB9RAhkHQ

thanks for taking the time!

You could detect when a unit is ordered to harvest a destructable, then update an integer that is stored in a hashtable with the destructable's handle id.

Detect when a unit harvests a tree.
Then use a hashtable to see if another unit is harvesting that tree.

edit: Maker beat me to it lol

Well if you just want to make it so only 1 unit can harvest from a tree, use the wisp's harvest lumber

Much less work than these other ideas P

that comes with that effect tho doesnt it lol ?

I've read a tutorial about HashTables, and looks pretty handy. But I can't seem to get the event right to check if unit harvests a 'tree', here are my triggers (I have added display text to check if the trigger works):

• Create Hashtable
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
    • Set Hashtable = (Last created hashtable)

• Worker harvests mineral
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • ((Casting unit) is A peon-type unit) Equal to True
    • (Destructible-type of (Target destructible of ability being cast)) Equal to Minerals
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Load (Key (Target destructible of ability being cast)) of 1 from Hashtable)
    • Hashtable - Save ((Key (Target destructible of ability being cast)) + 1) as (Key (Target destructible of ability being cast)) of 1 in Hashtable
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Load (Key (Target destructible of ability being cast)) of 1 from Hashtable) Greater than or equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • Hashtable - Save ((Key (Target destructible of ability being cast)) - 1) as (Key (Target destructible of ability being cast)) of 1 in Hashtable
        • Set TEMP_RegionWorker = (Region centered at (Position of (Casting unit)) with size (600.00, 600.00))
        • Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Harvest (Random destructible in TEMP_RegionWorker matching ((Matching destructible) Not equal to (Target destructible of ability being cast)))
        • Custom script: call RemoveRect(udg_TEMP_RegionWorker)
      • Else - Actions

Is your harvest an ability?

 

[deathismyfriend]

u should just save a boolean. true or false. if unit is harvesting tree save false. then u can structure it as a load condition to see if the tree is true.

dont use casting unit use triggering unit and u should store anything u use twice or more into a temp variable.

Is your harvest an ability?

, it is the normal harvest (gold and lumber) from peasant/peon etc. I tested it and alas Wcr3 does not see this as an ability for the event 'starts the effect of an ability'.

Is there a passive ability that is triggered by this event? Maybe something like bash, pulverize, liquid fire, poison (/envenomed spears /slow poison)?

u should just save a boolean. true or false. if unit is harvesting tree save false. then u can structure it as a load condition to see if the tree is true.

, but the problem is the event, how do you check if the worker is harvesting? I am trying not to use periodic events as much cause that is a bit heavy for the map.

, if you use units as resources (like ruleofiron did there), than you could just use the hashtable triggers I have written above and just replace event and conditions with a unit is attacked event & the appropiate conditions (unless I overlook something there, that is a way easier and is less heavy -> no periodic events required).
