First let me say: I searched the forums and found about 3 topics regarding this very same thing; yet, none of them had the answer.
Created a new building and after it's done constructing, when I go to highlight the area (which includes the new building and the SCV that built it) it selects the building rather than the SCV. I've tried:
-setting all the flags for the building to the same unit flags as the supply depot, command center, and barracks <did not work>
-setting the subgroup priority both higher and lower (and even matching the supply depot as I know when you select a supply depot and a SCV together the SCV gets priority). <did not work>
Please anyone know the answer to this? I want to be able to click drag a box over this building and an SCV together and have it select the SCV and NOT the building. It is extremely annoying.
Thank you
[SOLVED]
The selection priority of units and structures is directly related to the field called "Selection Layer" found under that unit's model. Most structures have this number set to 2. For some reason mine was set to 0 which overrides all other units and strucutres. Simply by switching this value to 2 allows for the selection priority to be given back to military units and workers etc...
