ASB Selection Box

[nivram]

Anyone know a formula so that if the selection box is not completely over a unit it does not get selected?

Thanks

For like an RTS game?
You would have to compare the x and y bounds against the units + an offset.

For example:

xleft("selection box") < x("unit") - xoffset) &
xright("selection box") > x("unit") + xoffset) &
ytop("selection box") < y("unit") - yoffset) &
ybottom("selection box") > y("unit") + yoffset)
then unit is within bounds

Of course this would be based on the unit hotspot so you might need to define different offsets for each side (left, right, top, bottom) which you would probably have to store within the alt values of the unit so you can have different units of different sizes.

I havnt used MMF in a while so I forget, but I think you get the actual left/right/top/bottom position of an active object which you could compare against also.
