Unit Group movement

[roguo]

Hello i got a little problem, and i thought that maybe some of you guys could help me?

Okay, the problem is that i cant seem to figure a way to select a unit group by pressing an arrow key, i want this so that a player can just press an arrow key and then he/she selects a whole group of units, then they can just click anywhere on the map to move them around instead of selecting them manually, any way to do this? If my explanation didnt make sense, please tell me so, all help is appreciated

What's wrong with hot-keying unit groups to 1-9 with Ctrl+key? Then you can select unit groups with 1-9 keys?

If you want to use arrow keys, you can save the desired unit group handle in a hashtable, then load the group when an arrow key is pressed. There is Player - Keyboard event.

The problem with pressing Ctrl+key is that i dont want people to make their own groups, the groups of units will already have been created when the map starts and then they can only use those groups of units

Left and right arrow keys select groups.

Works fine i suppose, now the only problem is that the screen moves when you select the units, any way to change this?

Camera - Lock camera target to unit

This wont work as the camera is stuck on the units then?
