[General] Goldmine Capacity Floating Text

[SnowYell]

Hi forum
I am making a Goldmine that can hold 8 at a time for the mining time of 10 seconds.
Now I would like to make it simple for the player to notice how many miners he has in the goldmine. So I was thinking of making a floating text just right below the goldmine, that tells the player how many miners there are currently active inside.

Is that possible? Probably, but I would not know how to put the text BELOW the goldmine..

Hi forum

Forum won't talk to you

This one seems to get the event when a unit enters a gold mine.
Be aware that Night Elf and Undead are different in that perspective.

However this one is pretty hard because you have to keep track of every unit that is inside the gold mine. Especially when he leaves you will get trouble.
The floating text is pretty simple. You create a floating text at the location of the gold mine + 200Y and save that floating text in a hastable under the key of the handle id of the goldmine and 0 as secondary key.
Then you save the number of units inside it under 1 and the player that has the units inside it under 2.

You do have to use timers to reduce the amount of the units inside so you will have to use JASS.

I can't script. I really don't get it.
And my point is not for the whole mining trick. It really only is when the miners are inside the mine, to keep track of how many you have in there.

I have no time to actually make it for you... and as you are not capable of making it yourself, you just have to wait until someone else jumps in and gives you a nice example map.
