Selecting and instantly deselecting a unit

[Silvenon]

What I want to do is to be able to select an invisible unit, detect the selection, then instantly deselect the unit, without a selection circle, portrait etc.

Basically, a left-click detection with no side effects. Is that possible?

Make a trigger like the following:
Events
----Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
Conditions
----(Unit-Type of (Triggering Unit)) Equal to InvisibleUnit
Actions
----Selection - Remove (Triggering Unit) from selection

This will have a very short lag time (maybe 0.25-0.5 secs? maybe less). I don't think there is any way to do it instantly unless you're okay with making it unselectable (locust is the only way I know which also makes it invulnerable).
Hope that helps =P

I used that to detect maphacks at my map which was never finished....

however it is kind of easy

this is for detecting maphack
modify as you want to

• MhTest
  • Events
    • Time - Every 30.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set PlayerSelection[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Units currently selected by (Picked player))
        • Selection - Clear selection for (Picked player)
        • Selection - Select MhTestUnit for (Picked player)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (MhTestUnit is selected by (Picked player)) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((Name of (Picked player)) + might be a maphacker.)
          • Else - Actions
        • Selection - Select PlayerSelection[(Player number of (Picked player))] for (Picked player)

(leaks and might not work as I want to because I recoded it cause I couldn't find the old one - I know this is not exactly what you wanted but it should be enough to help you)

note: if a player has a spell selection running it will be canceld

edit: second x)

@NightfangII

Sorry, your way the portrait will show.

@D4RK_G4ND4LF

Uhm, sorry, that won't work.

Well, thanks for the effort guys...

A way would be to check every 0.02 seconds if a player is selecting that unit and then deselect it. Tried it and you rarely see the interface (and when you do only for some miliseconds)
I think there isn't a better way at all. :/

Hmm yeah, that's probably the best solution. Thanks.
