Trigger question - Redirect selection of unit

I'm trying to redirect the selection of a unit but I can't find the actions that I need to accomplish it. Let me explain better.

I want to have it when a player selects certain units, that unit is deselected and a different unit is selected.

I have almost all of it worked out but I need a condition that checks if the original unit is in a unit group. I don't know the event response for the unit in this event, "Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit". I don't think it would be triggering unit or target unit and I could not find an event response called selected unit.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks and +rep for the solution.
 
> Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit

Using this event, the selected unit is 'Triggering unit' while the player selecting the unit is 'Triggering player'.


> I can't find the actions that I need to accomplish it

Check out 'Selection - Select....'. If you can't find it, use the built in search function. Just type 'select'.

Basically, for what you want, just Reset selection and then select the other unit for your player.

There are a bunch of actions under the "Selection -" heading. Using them you can clear a player's selection and select another unit for the triggering player.
 
> Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit

Using this event, the selected unit is 'Triggering unit' while the player selecting the unit is 'Triggering player'.

Thanks so much that is exactly what I was unsure of.

I found the actions I need under Selection. Thank you both. +rep

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
