I am making a map.(It's going slowly, despite the fact it's merely 'modifying a Blizzard map', as I know nothing and can't keep focus on all the data entry required-the concept is 'What if every unit were Heroic-could level, stats, use items, abilities?'. Turning most units(I think I may skip mechanicals-I look at the Siege Tank or Obsidian Statue and it scares me) into a Hero is a long process, at least for me-and this is just the Humans. I don't care to think about dealing with Night Elves and things like Hippogryph Riders...but that's in the future.)
I have a Hero, that is also a Peasant. I want him(Them-there will be many of them) to gain EXP while he's gathering. I have created a separate version of Harvest Gold and Lumber that is it's hero ability to use for this.
My thought is along the line of:
Trigger: Every 2 seconds of game time.
????
Give 10 EXP to triggering unit.
Why is there a '????'? That's my problem: I can't work out what exactly Harvest Gold and Lumber IS to target a condition at it. Is it channelled? Cast? It starts, but never actually stops, but they don't go into any channelling animation or anything. They just work.
Maybe working with some kind of permanent buff to target with a trigger would be better? But I barely understand that system-I don't know how to make an 'empty' buff to start with. I have never been smart.
