Help with useful UI mod

[Sir Prize]

Hello

I'm trying to make a mod that deselects certain units that are assisting other units in a drag box selection - basically mobile shield, stealth and land scouts. I've used the code in the awesome SelenDeselect mod to try and make this happen, but I just don't know lua syntax. At the moment my mod deselects idle Selens that are switched to gold fire - like the original mod, but nothing else. Can someone have a look at the modules in this folder and see what can be done? And tell me what to change? I'd like to be more useful and this will help me learn

Nice! I was trying to make exactly the same mod, but I could not figure out a good way of determining which unit a given unit is assisting.

I think I can see in the code, if you know the syntax, where you can do something based on what order a unit has, in the "SelenDeselect" and "main" docs in the modules folder for example.

Credit goes to yorick, who wrote the initial mod by the way. It's awesome and everyone who ever plays Sera should get it.

I could not figure out a good way of determining which unit a given unit is assisting.

Code: Select all

         local guardedUnit = unit:GetGuardedEntity()
         if guardedUnit and not guardedUnit:IsDead() then
            skipped = true
         end

i got this mod working and will put on vault soon

I think I tested that one too. Does that work when the unit is still on its way? O_O

I put the mod in the vault. More info here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9678
