Sending drones mining minerals via triggers return errors, any simple workaround?
Drones are owned by a player, hatchery and mineral fields are in range.
What? All you have to do is order the drones Unit group to issue an order with targeting a unit, that unit would be a mineral field. They will then automatically mine and return their cargo until all mineral fields in that area are mined out.
It doesn't return an error for me. The probe starts mining etc. Hmm do you have the right ability because there are 3 Gather abilities: 1 for every worker (Drone, SCV and Probe). Else could you take a screen of the error u get ?

You should be able to use an: Issue order action on a Drone saying it has to Gather targeting a Mineral Unit.
Look at the attachment below. =3
Yeah, as said, I know that. This returns errors. Doesn't it for you?

Error is saying "[...] requires a target."
It's drone - gather.
Are you sure that you selected the desired mineral field as the target? Lol
I think u forgot to make it target the Mineral. You have to click on the brackets and then choose Ability targeting unit. Look at the attachments.
I'm not a beginner :D , I've done that already.
hmm... Thats kinda weird. If its exactly the same it should be working...
Found a different action which can handle this. issue workers to gather nearby units.
Thanks to Ahli.
