Introduction
Reselect makes deselection of your units less painful. It is a System for Warcraft 3 (Lua) V1.31.1 / (vjass) V1.29.2 or higher.
It aims to give a qol to selection. Reselecting your last selected group before selecting an other players unit becomes easy, just one click on the play ground.
Or when you use the right mouse click the last selected group will even be ordered to "smart"-move to that position.
The system works in multiplayer and for all player at the same time.
How to Install:
Copy Paste into your map the appropriated one, either from the map or taking it from the Code Section below.

Another very useful system.
Is there a way to disable this function when I use the left mouse button?
Example: when I go to buy an item in the shop it selects my last selected units.
I'm using the vjass version

yes, you can enable/disable the system for specific players using the Reselect_Enabled boolean array.
set Reselect_Enabled[playerId] = true
set Reselect_Reselect[0] = false
the playerId uses jass indexing: [0] is player red, [1] blue.
oh no, Reforged expanded world frame, so pressing on command buttons has not coords 0/0. This case was filtered for v1.31
Sounds like i need a better filter/approach that works for reforged.
Edit: Updated to V6)
When a player buys an item or hires an unit. Then Reselect will not trigger. Failing the buying will still trigger Reselect.
Reselect now triggers on mouse up instead of mouse down.
set Reselect_Enabled[playerId] = true
set Reselect_Reselect[0] = false
the playerId uses jass indexing: [0] is player red, [1] blue.

It's improved a lot, it doesn't disable the left mouse button click, but it's much better for buying items.yes, you can enable/disable the system for specific players using the Reselect_Enabled boolean array.
set Reselect_Enabled[playerId] = true
set Reselect_Reselect[0] = false
