Is there a way...

Is there a way to select moreor less then 12 units in-game? (likein warcraft II you could of select only 9)

 

[ZIR]

What?
What do you mean with "moreor less"?

 

[ronojales]

you can select less than 12, but not more. i think that's (oh wait, no, that's really is) the maximum amount of units you can select that is programmed in wc3. even triggering can't make you select more than 12.

oh man... anyways i meant more or less.my space key is screwed
Thx rono, + rep

 

[ronojales]

you're welcome

Hmm I am not completly sure about this :/

Sure you can only pick 12 units ingame but I think there should be some way of triggering a bigger selection :/

You can still use a unit groud and add and pick all to get more than 12 units.

Maybe you could create a keyboard event system like when a player presses "+" the selected units are added to a unitground which he can use later?

what exacly is a unit ground? never heard of it(cause im a noob)

Here's how to limit selection to something less than 12 units:

• Untitled Trigger 008 Copy
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Triggering player)
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Group_1 = (Units currently selected by (Triggering player))
    • Set Temp_Integer_1 = (Number of units in Temp_Group_1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Temp_Integer_1 Greater than 5
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Temp_Integer_2 = (Player number of (Triggering player))
        • Set Selection_Integer_1[Temp_Integer_2] = (Selection_Integer_1[Temp_Integer_2] + 1)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Selection_Integer_1[Temp_Integer_2] Less than (Temp_Integer_1 - 4)
          • Then - Actions
            • Selection - Remove (Triggering unit) from selection for (Triggering player)
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • Selection_Integer_1[Temp_Integer_2] Equal to Temp_Integer_1
              • Then - Actions
                • Set Selection_Integer_1[Temp_Integer_2] = 0
              • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions

This limits units selected to 5. To change the limit, change that 5 to the new max, and that 4 to new max - 1.

EDIT: Damn, you can still add more units by holding shift :/ Fixing...

cool thx + rep tomorrow (i exceeded the limit)

This is slightly better, units are limited to 5 when you use dragbox selection, doubleclicking or shift clicking. Shift-doubleklicking still bugs.
