unchopable trees

[rufee]

i need to make trees that cannot be chopped by peasant while collecting lumber
but can be chooped down by a special tree cutter unit
but cant figure this out

 

[Shendoo2]

I don't think you can do that.. But you can make it so a special tree cutter can get more wood than the other wood cutter.

remove the Harvest Lumber ability from the Peasant

 

[rufee]

he still needs to gather lumber for me without chopping down the tree
i saw this in crazys vampirism

 

[Just_Spectating]

set the tree's Life to something like 100000000

And then when you want the tree to be chopped down, base the chopping ability off Eat Tree with a duration of 0.01

Certain tilesets such as the Sunken Ruins have trees that cannot be destroyed in any way (I think they're under Environment, but check the rest of the doodad palette if not). The other way is to make those destructibles invulnerable through triggers (find the action under the Destructible set).

you're all fools!

Just change the "damage to trees" in the chop lumber ability to 0 for peasants and create a same one for the special unit and set the damage for your needs. Period.

Wrong.

Did you try to change the damage to trees to 0? Did you see what happens?

The amount of damage to trees = the amount of lumber collected.

And since he needs the peasant to collect lumber as well, the damage cant be set to 0.

Period.

Ahh well
/me got owned...

... other thing I can think of is create a trigger which sets the tree health to +"damage" if the attacking unit equal to peasant

 

[Asomath]

Agreed thats how I would do it.
