is it possible to make a non-structure unit to not be drag selectable. as an example say you made a tank turret and you want to still be able to select the tank turret, but you don't want to be able to select the turret and other units.

Yes, it is possible.

You can add locust ability to the unit.

Adding locust makes it unselectable and invulnerable.

If you want to make the unit not invulnerable, and be able to be targeted by other units, then remove locust from the unit.

You can add locust in object editor.

Remove it with:

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(*yourunit*, 'Aloc')

Adding/removing locust makes the unit vulnerable and targetable by other units, but the unit can't be selected.

what i meant was that the unit could be selected. Just could not be drag selected.

I know that in starcraft 1 using data edit you could enable the flag, single entity which made so that, that unit couldn't be drag selected. and i was wondering if it was possible to do anything similar to that with warcraft3 without making the unit be a structure.

I dont think you can do that. You could disable drag selection..for everything
Idk if you wanna do that tho lol

If you wanna hide the turrets health bar tho, set selection size to -1, i dont think that prevents it from being drag selected, you could try tho xD

Try play with these actions:

• Actions
  • Game - Enable selection and deselection functionality (Enable selection circles)
  • Game - Disable drag-selection functionality (Disable drag-selection box)
  • Game - Enable pre-selection functionality (Enable pre-selection circles, life bars, and object info)

I suggest use GetLocalPlayer to refer the correct player respectively

okay i will see what i can do with those, but i guess that making a unit non-drag selectable but still selectable is impossible.
Thanks for your advice i'll see if i can come up with something.

edit: is there anyway to set a players selection box to a region variable?
edit2: here is my solution, but i would prefer if i could use a region for the selection, it would make things a lot easier and more elegant.
