I've been working on this particular issue for a couple of hours and my brain has turned to mush and am wondering if someone can point out where I am going wrong or what im missing.
I am trying to make minerals (and their rich variant) and the vespene geyser buildable (like any base building) via the SCV, Probe and Drone build abilities for a sandbox map I am working on after someone suggested it to me. I have managed to get it all the way to the builder unit card menu however when i try to actually place the mineral or geyser ingame it says the location is invalid.
Is it something obvious im missing? Any advice or solutions to this would be greatly appreciated as i've hit a wall.
@K89Slavik: Go Check the placement footprint for the resource units. Buidable units have those so as to check for valid ground, but I believe the resource units don't have those.
That appears to be the problem, they are using the default ones by blizzard. Now for another noob question... how do I change the footprints for the resources to solve this? Last time I did that was in 2010 and I dont remember now >.<
