[General] Unit Selection Subgroups

[Tristronic]

Hello,

So the question is one I don't have much hope for, but then again I'm pretty new to the Hive so maybe it's easy for someone else.

When selecting multiple Units of different types, can I find which Unit's Command Card is being viewed by the Player?
Example: I select a Paladin a Rifleman and a Peasant; The Paladin's Command Card is shown by default until I click the Rifleman or Peasant.
Is there a way to determine if the Player selected the Rifleman and is viewing the Rifleman's Command Card now, while keeping the same three units selected?

I've tried detecting a button-frame-click on the 'multiple unit' detail icon, and I've tried seeing if the 'Player X selects a unit' and/or 'Unit is selected' events fire when the player changes the highlighted unit, but it would seem the event does not re-fire and I've had no luck detecting the button-frame-click (using FRAMEEVENT_MOUSE_UP)

I'm guessing there is a frame that is blocking my button click, or maybe the icons aren't detectable buttons? Or maybe I just am totally out of reckoning...

The only thing that might help figure this out is to reference this Lua library: [Lua] - GetMainSelectedUnit

This would get you which unit is in focus and thus you can reference commands that it has or iterate over its equipped abilities, etc.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

So far I've been messing around with trying to get the unit/unit-type by using the frame text of 'SimpleNameText', but still no way to 'refresh' when another unit of the same selection is clicked, maybe I'll find something better there... figures I've been knee deep in JASS with zero Lua, hopefully it's nothing exclusive, to my knowledge they are equally capable, right?

EDIT: Looks like exactly what I need, thank you!

I believe that FRAMEEVENT_CONTROL_CLICK fires more reliably than FRAMEEVENT_MOUSE_UP on patches after 1.31 (although thats more like button down)
