Haunted Mine

[fokyip]

This is kind of a noob question but I can't figure it out im trying to make a gold mine that loads up like entangled mine which I don't have a problem with. The problem is building on top of a gold mine, what are the things that I have to keep in mind to build a mine on top of a gold mine?

What... are you saying you made a custom entangled goldmine ability and it's not working?

 

[fokyip]

Well I want it build like a haunted gold mine, but have the gold mine load up units in order to mine the gold. Instead of mining on the outside? The main problem is when I have a unit that builds the new entangled mine and it won't build on top of it instead it would let me build on open land?

I don't understand half what you wrote, but I guess you should base your builder on an Acolyte...

 

[fokyip]

How do I build on top of a gold mine. Does that make sense?

 

[Father_Chaos]

Try, in the Gold Mine unit, to put Stats - Can Be Built On to "True".

 

[tassadar920]

Also I think the actual entangled mine neds to have a crtain ability.

Did you copy the old entangled goldmine exactly?

 

[fokyip]

Yup, I copied the entangled gold mine ability and I already made it so it can be built on. Is it possible the the entangled gold mine ability is only locked with the tree of life and can not be used by anyother units or buildings?

 

[freak on a leash]

You would have to make a Human or an Orc goldmine, and then make it look like the desired goldmine.

I forgot what it's called, but it's the same thing that allows you to make regular units into heros. You change the unit's skin.

Take the Tree of Life (or, actually, even the Haunted Gold Mine) and change its Model.*

 

[tassadar920]

The ability is just on the tree of life, it has nothing to do with the unit itself being allowed to cast the ability.

Whatever model you pick, do not chose one that will make the transition a little "weird".
