Starcraft Mining Mechanics

[Kabel]

I want the workers on my map to mine like workers mine minerals in Starcraft.
I'm using the ability "harvest lumber" but I want to replace the tree's with another doodad. But if I do so the workers mineing the doodad will carry lumber on their back instead of what they are actually mineing.

How do I change what workers carry on their back?

It's the model, you have to create an alternate model for other resources.

Is it possible to replace lumber with a goldbag?
When workers mine the lumberdoodad they get a goldbag on their back instead of lumber. Carry gold/lumber is an animation most workers have. I just want to switch them
You see, if I replace the goldmine with a doodad the workers will not mine the doodad they will enter it and come out with gold.

(And the resource I'm thinking of might aswell be hidden in a bag instead of visible on the back

One way is controlling the animations with triggers, but is little tricky to do, the easier way is to rename the worker model animations, but this will bring a custom model in your map.

I know basic triggering and I can import skins and models, but I have never created or edited a model before. But since all there is to do is to rename two animations on an existing model, do you think that is hard to do?

Or rather, you think a rookie like me can learn and pull this of or does it take a long time to be able to master it?

Why don't you use the drone available on this site, it has those starcraft animations. And scv and Probe has those also

I'm assuming the map has little to do with starcraft, otherwise he would have probably simply used that drone. I suggest you post a request to swap gold and lumber animations from the peasant at the request section or you learn basic modelling yourself.
