SCV Mining Resources

[Macbeth76]

I tried to use bwapi-bridge to get the SCV to mine minerals but it
seems that if I use the rightclick method with the Unit parameter,
they go to the spot where the minerals are but don't mine them. If I
use the position the game just freezes. I tried the last release and
the code in the head. Could you please help?

you're probably clicking on every frame, which basically breaks the
API. try something hacky like clicking every 20 frames or so.

I got the SCV to start mining. It turns out that I was using the wrong
version of the Chaoslauncher plugin. Now I ran into another problem
though. I can't seem to get the SCV to build a barracks.
I get no errors and nothing freezes. I am only selecting one of them
to go build. I am marking the location with a circle. Any thought on
this one?

We've had this problem, I think. Usually we do things like

if(frameNum % 10 == 0) {
// go build
}

and it seems to work around any quirks in the engine... I know I'm
pushing the same solution, but it really seems to solve most problems.
