[General] Simple Trigger Problem

[Zredna]

Quite simple trigger. Maybe I'm just completely blind, but it seems there is no way to refer to the Unit constructing the structure (not the constructed unit). "Triggering Unit" does not work.

Edit: My problem is (if I wasn't clear enough): I can't find a way to refer to the Constructing Unit,

There isn't a native way, as explained by Dr Super Good in this thread.

Impossible without a complex system. This is because buildings do not have to be started by a builder and can infact be started by any old unit.

Thus the only real way is to guess who builds a building via triggers.

How I did this was start by getting when an order to build a building is issued, and then knwoing that unit must build the building there. If a building is started construction at that point then it must be from that builder. You add other checks mike making sure the building is owned by the right player, that the building is the right type etc and you can obtain near 100% accuracy. The only thing my system failed to do was if more than one builder orderd the same building at the same point for the same player, then it would get one of the builders seemingly randomly and make it the constructor.

Thank you for reply <3

Perhaps there is a way to achieve what you wanted. Your intent was just to keep workers active by harvesting at the gold mine after construction finishes? Is this for an AI?
