Prevention unit to be added to the selection

[JollyD]

Is there any solution to prevent the unit to be added/selected in that green box? But to have the opportuity to be clicked by leftclick

 

[Almia]

i think there is an action that disables selection boxes.

Yeah, Game - Enable/Disable drag selection

That thing apply to all units (

Uhhh... you can do this :
After a player makes a selection, check if there is something else than just the unit you want. If there is, remove the unit from the selection, else do nothing. This way the unit will be unselected if there are other units (if the player makes a drag selection). And if you left click, nothing happens.

And something else, do you want the unit to be removed from the selection when the player makes a drag selection but selects only the unit?

you can change the owner of the unit into another player and retain color, then make alliance with fully shared units for the owner.

You can set the unit's model file to ".mdl" (effectively none) and then attach a model to its origin. The problem with this, though, is that it won't play walk/attack/spell animations.

Okay if you don't want to fully-prevent that unit from being selected at all, simple, just add Locust to it.

locust can't do this

So you can click the unit, but can't control it ?
Why not change the ownership ?

What exactly you're trying to achieve ?

Is this unit supposed to be controlled by any chance ?
If so, why would you want it to not be controlled by players ?

I think he wants to simply remove the unit from the selection if it's selected trough a "drag selection". But if it's selected with a left click - do nothing. The unit must be controlled by the player i think.

Another thing you could do - make the unit type structure. You can't drag select structures and units together.

This might work, yes. But doesn't it need the unit to be both structure-type unit and a building? I think he wants the unit to be non-building.

If you just set a unit to a building, it still functions 100% like a unit as long as you don't change anything like pathmap.

IIRC the Factory ability will allow such thing. Just make a dummy invisible unit spawn every 6000 seconds that lives .1 second.

The unit with the Factory Ability will be unselectable via drag, but it will still be selectable via click.

yeah i thought than that ownership solves this thing, thanks
