Unit Selected Detection

[Kam]

Is there a way to detect if a unit is currently selected by the player or in a control group and after replacing that unit via a trigger have it reselected and added back to the control group?

Due to some of the buffs I use I have to do unit replacing upgrades with triggers, which is why they become unselected.

Conditions->Boolean->Unit - Unit Selected by Player.

You can't detect control groups however.

so.. how did sotdrp makers did that?
im pretty sure they checked if the unit is selected in a sub if/then/else, and if hes still inside the group, keep him inside, but if he isnt, remove him from the group, but i aint sure..

you could use the chaos ability to replace the unit (or if that does not work bear form if its unit and metamorphosis if its hero)

also GUI selection triggers use GetLocalPlayer so you might want to check in multiplayer if you get desyncs
(maybe "call SyncSelections()" can fix that but for me it did not)

there also is a selection/deselection event for units
refer to the selected unit with triggering unit
maybe helpful for you

I don't know if GUI has it, but in JASS you can always SyncSelections() and then Enumerate through the units and check if a given unit is there and if it is, replace it and SelectUnit(new_created_unit, true);
