Hi, tried searching for it but was unable to find anything I'm afraid. My problem is that I want to disable the selection box that appears when draggin with the left mouse button, you know, selecting multiple units. My map is dependant on players holding down their mouse buttons and I don't wan't that ugly box to appear.
Okay, I'm sorry found another thread asking the exact same question. Weird it did not show up in search. But the question was left unanswered so I guess I'm kind of bumping it =)
It's wierd. I have 3 custom units. all made from scratch the same way, one of them will not get selected in a selection box while the others will. doesn't matter if i have 10 of each for a total of 30. the 10 of them will not get selected. This is what I want, except for all the different units. If I have 31 units on my screen, and I make a selection box, I only want my one 'main' unit to get selected. the other units can be selected individually.
I just can't find the fields to manipulate this. Ive checked my unit that isn't affected by the selection box and compared field for field with the other units that are and I can't find the difference.
I don't know if this will work, but maybe if you have triggers like:
1)
Event - Left mouse button clicked down
Action - Lock camera mouse relative mode on
2)
Event - Left mouse button clicked up
Action - Lock camera mouse relative mode off
I'm not sure if that would interfere with clicking stuff though. It will make the cursor disappear when holding down the button, though. I'm going to look at the Story Mode map and see what they did to prevent it.
EDIT: Just tested it, and yes, it interferes with clicking. Probably not a good solution.
Oh well, thanks for checking it out tho! I am assuming this would be a must for diablo type games, so hopefully blizz will deliver some way to disable it in a future patch.
I can't get on the editor right now but I no there is an action that disables the selection box I have tested it on my map but am still debating on weather or not to use it in my maps. Just open trigger editor make a new action and search selection box.

Bumping this in case anybody knows the solution.
Bump. I need the answer as well.

Hoping someone can help.

I'm looking through the story mode map triggers and I don't see anything. Maybe look through Cursors in the Data Editor?
So I found that changing what I had a little bit makes it work fine (from what I've tried):
This way it shouldn't interfere with clicking. I'm thinking that this might not work well with Battle.net lag.

You are awesome sir. I'm going to try this right now. Thanks a lot for doing the research :D
Edit: Works like a charm!
HAHAHAHA! Zombies are REAL! (necropost)
This will work great for TPS and FPS that want to get rid of that little green dot that appears when shooting. Thank you search.
Edit: sorry i tested it in game and it will not remove the green dot that appears when shooting.

Oh sweet!
Thank you so much that perfect for me.
