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.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.
[2026-6-21. : 4:56 am]
Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new
