Help With Mining
I need help, I am making a map where the resource fields are very low and the bases are in very close proximity. Is there a way to stop workers from stealing minerals from other bases? or is the problem only fixed by creating a barrier.
Yes, using triggers you can prevent them from going across and trying to steal minerals.
Player 1
Player 1 brings at least 1 men to location "Player 2 Mine Zone"
Order all men to move to location "Player 1 Mine Zone"
Preserve Trigger

None.
Or if you want to punish them for attempting to steal, you could just kill the workers 
None.
I agree with Akor, its the best way
None.
The only problem I see is terran buildings flying in.
None.
That won't be a problem since it will only trigger at 'men'. However I think you want to use 3 triggers, 1 for each miner. Otherwise militairy units will also be teleported home, which is both iritating and open for being abused (just teleport your almost-dead units back to your base).
None.
Or he could simply say if the enemy brings at least 1 of any unit there, order drone, order probe, order scv away.
None.
thx but i was looking for a trigger that would like make the mineral patches mineable only to you... if there is such a thing
None.
No.
None.

None.
You could make it RIGHT next to the minerals, so you have to be like touching them.
None.
Yes, that would work, but thats alot of locations.
None.
Not if he is stacking them
None.
true.
None.
actually I decided to screw that mineral system. Now im trying to make the mineral fields have 3 minerals each and replenish. How should i do this.
None.
Just constantly have a trigger modifying all minerals for player 12 to a number higher than 8.
None.
The thing is i do not want the minerals to be 8+, I want them to be a very low number like about 3 or 4. The point of the map is to have a VERY limited amount of resources, would i just have a detection trigger then replace it with a mineral field?
None.
No, since you can't create units for player 12...
None.
Ahh, I see. So you want to "grow" back.
Oh and you can simply create the mineral field for player 7 and then give them to p12.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities[2026-9-23. : 10:09 am]
NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games[2026-9-23. : 2:30 am]
Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
