Make regions by clicking

[JJ2197]

I would like to know how to make a region by clicking for the MinX MinY and MaxX MaxY
Like you say -whatever then you issue a unit an event order and that sets the MinX and Y
then the 2nd time you do it, it sets the MaxX and Y. Then a region would be created at that
location...

Event - Unit issued order...

Conditions?

Actions - Log points...when points = 4 create rect...

Care to elaborate a bit more/

[JJ2197]

Thought that was good enough... but okay...

So first you say, -whatever (doesn't really matter)
Then you click (anywhere) and that will be the min X and Y
Then you click somewhere else and that will be the max X and Y
And a rect will be created from the first to second click...
That's about the best I can explain it... =/

There's no convenient way to detect a click.

Most authentic way around this would probably be to make it when you type that command, it selects a "Rect maker" unit for you.
Then this unit has an ability where you target a point.

I think the best solution is making a "createrect" command.
Then you would have a rect array.
The command would be like this...

-createrect x1,y1,x2,y2,#

Then you would loop through and count commas basically... Get the coordinates and create the rect in rectarray[#]

As to getting the coordinates, that's another problem.

Well I know you can detect a click by giving a unit an order...
So what I was thinking was making it so you say something it
enables a certain trigger for it to work then you select a unit (any)
tell him to go somewhere (Min x and y) then you tell him to go somewhere
else (Max x and y) and a rect would be created and it would start over...
So you can make more...

How multi-instanceable would this have to be?

[JJ2197]

Could you possible reword that... not sure what you mean?

[tru_power22]

Multi-Instanceable means all players can do it, or a few.

[JJ2197]

Whoever says the command...

[Aero]

Therefore the command is Multi-player instanceable.

I'll edit this post later with as a solution if I get around to it.
