One Hit Harvest

[Kunfury]

I am trying to make it where the harvesters harvest their entire load of 10-20-30-40-50 etc... lumber in ONE hit. Do i need a trigger for this or what? Please help.
+Rep to whoever who finds out the answer.

Set the harvest amount t 10... in the object editor?

Not right .
set in the field /Data - Damage to tree/
the set number that you want harvested at once as each taken damage on the tree is the amount is harvested and also you can set the maximum amount you want your harvester to hold on the field /Data - Lumber Capacity/

What DeathChef said, with a bit more elaboration.

You must edit the Harvest (Gold and Lumber) ability that worker units have. In there, you can edit these three values:

Data - Damage to Tree
Data - Gold Capacity
Data - Lumber Capacity

Set the Damage to Tree value to some ridiculous height (like 500) and your peasants (or other workers) will chop the tree in one go. Also, set your Lumber Capacity higher so that they can carry all the wood. I'm not sure what the "health" of trees is though, which would be handy to know if you want them to carry exactly one tree.

By the way, if you still want other workers to be able to harvest normally, you can make a new ability like Super Harvest (Gold and Lumber), and make your "super workers" use that.

The default Hit Points that trees have is 50 .

He said, 10-20-30-40-50 so a research is needed...

 

[puggsoy]

Are you sure that's what he meant? I thought it was just numbers, depending on the HP of trees...

 

[mckill2009]

Not 100% sure but I guess coz he did not say "or"...

In my view he means 10 to 20 to 30 to 40 to 50 etc...

 

[puggsoy]

In that case, there would be a slight problem. I know how to upgrade the amount of lumber he carries (Lumber Harvest Bonus) but I can't seem to find a way to increase the damage to trees...

Maybe if you used the Ability Level Bonus effect? Then you could just have multiple Harvest (Gold and Lumber) levels, each one allowing the peasant to chop and carry more wood (i.e. having higher Damage to Tree and Lumber Capacity values).

Oh yeh and also I suggest using the ability Harvest (Goblin Shredders lumber) as that only can target trees as he said he wants it for lumbering, nothing to do with gold .
Also no need to say whatever I said already as there is no need

...And the thread starter is dead.

No, just offline. He'll be back soon enough to give us all +rep

Well I just thought to elaborate, since you didn't specify which ability to do this in (or that it was an ability at all).

And Harvest (Goblin Shredders Lumber) is a good suggestion, unless of course he also wants them to be able to harvest gold as well.

 

[mckill2009]

not really, but you can adjust the levels for it after reasearch...

level 1 - damage 10
level 2 - damage 20

level 1 lumber capacity = 10
level 2 lumber capacity = 20

take note that you can only do this via trigger since ordinary unit cant have leveling abilities...

and so on...

 

[puggsoy]

Can't you just research it with a structure? Just like how you would upgrade gold harvesting, or attack power, or something? But then instead, you upgrade the ability's level.

Or is that still impossible without triggers?
