class sensitive selection boxes

Postby Lionhardt » 05 Sep 2013, 22:48

The following is just an idea, and I don't have a clue how hard this would actually be to do.

What has always bothered me in SupCom, is the fact, that you cannot easily select only air units or only land units with a selection box, when the air and land units in question are occupying the same 2d space. You always have to either double click all the units types you want or select all via the selection box and then manually deselect the unit types in your selection overview. What hypothetical functionality I have in mind is holding down some key and while doing so drawing the selection box. Say Shift + Y makes the selection box air only, Shift + X makes it land only and Shift + C makes it naval only.


Maybe I only have an issue with this because I don't know of a workaround to this problem...
