Its hard for me to explain what you would call it, its technically infinite minerals on the mineral field, but its a trigger that just renews the amount on the field. So say I got 25 minerals on a field, a SCV mines 8 minerals from it giving it 17 minerals, but the trigger renews it back to 25 minerals, forever. How is this done I have the trigger set up like so:

Player:
Neutral

Conditions:
Always

Actions:
(x5) Set resource amount for All resource sources owned by Neutral at location x to 10
Preserver Trigger

I figured this is the way your supposed to do it, but I tried gathering the mineral field and no such luck.

player = all
condition= always
action= set resource amount for all resource own by all players at location(whatever you named it) to 40(mineral number(
preserver trigger

had the same problem bro someone help me...so thank them ...

Make sure the fields are for the correct player, some extended editors allow you to place it for any player.

Why the hell does Staredit even have the option to select a different player if they can't be owned by any other player? What the fuck is that?

Actually, they can be owned by a different player

In the original StarEdit.app?

Ok, so I had the right trigger set up, just I shoulda made it for all players instead of neutral? and yea I make sure all the time that the minerals are set for neutral. But I do have a trigger that gives all units to players, in case someone should leave, that shouldnt be a problem should it?

Sounds like a problem to me. Set it to all players. If it works, and you're happy with it, no point in making it more difficult than it needs to be.

Don't give any unit from neutral. Just give [buildings] and [men].

Yeah, it's probably giving the mineral fields to other players.

Ok it works now, but for it to verify that the minerals replenished, you would have to reclick on the field, but thats not a problem, at least it replenishes One more question though is it possible to take out doodads via triggers, like say I have a BC crash into a forest (tree doodads) is it possible to make the trees where the crashed BC would spawn disappear via triggers?

No.

Remove the BC, sure. Remove the trees, no.

Ok, I thought it was possible to remove doodads, oh well, ill make due thanks. My map is well on the way to being finished. All I gotta do now is balance units for my game type, and set up waves for attacks, and tweak a few other things, and ill be done

It's only possible to place rock sprites (and only one type of rock sprite) in starcraft during the game. There is no way to remove pure sprites (unit sprites yes, but they aren't really sprites).

However death and sequence (Ensare) annimations do play at the start of the map and ware off after an allocated ammount of time.

The only problem you had was that Neutral Players either didn't exist or were P9-P12 and could not run the triggers anyway. Changing that to All Players easily solves the problem... though you really don't need x5 Set Resource actions.

lol, I didn't catch that it was owned by p12 the first time through. I think you're the only person to notice it...

July 30th. Sorry, a bit late.

the reason why I need five of them is because I have 5 different locations on the map that set to the same resource I guess I should have mentioned that =/
its basically 20 different mineral fields each with a different resource, so I could make it look a little more random
