there is already : Selection lock v4. (i think it does completely what you created with your mod)
and i think ui party integrated Selection lock v4. (but it's not completely the same behaviour, so i still use only Selection lock v4.)

if there is any advantage in your mod over Selection lock v4. pls tell me

and in Selection lock v4. ; you can configure which unit are affected by the mod.

Also if there is any thing i would love is that assist unit don't get attracted by opponent unit and leave the unit they are assisted. But i think this has to do with the GSR, and it cannot be changed in a ui mod

AssistDeselect

Well nvm this then. Better things are already available.

With all the talk about about the area commands and how you can easily assist shields to units with it.
I thought about how nice it would be if they stayed assisted even when you give your army a new command.

I don't know a mod that does this, (maybe its a feature of one of the bigger ones? please inform me before i start doing actual work )
So i decided to take a shot at it myself.

Well i basicly took SelenDeselect mod and changed 1 line, and it roughly does what i had in mind.
So with this mod you won't select units that are assisting something, except if you only select assisting units.
( just like SelenDeselect, who would've expected that )

Its quite nice for when you have a unit + scout combo. No need to make sure you don't accidently select the scout too.
tank + scout : http://recordit.co/iKKLsTtBCu
bomber + scout : http://recordit.co/rCh2CnA4en

And it works well with shields/flak assisted to your armies:
tanks + shield + aa: http://recordit.co/cIi6BlYnhr

Would be nice if people try it out

Show some nice things you can do with it
Show situations where it shouldn't really happen
Show situations where you want it too happen
