Hey, im trying to make a new unit with a custom model of WoW. As you know, WoW sizes are a bit, off so i wanted to upscale the Lich King. (it is like 10% of a marauder) Only, when i try to increase scale, the selection circle gets way bigger also so it takes up an entire screen just for this little marauder-sized unit. Is there a way to decrease the selection circle size without descaling the model? also, the acutal selection? (like how close you get to click on it, thats a bit off with WoW too)

Changing the "Radius" - field in the model data type should have an influence on this.

@Kueken531: Go

no

Not sure about this but it's worth a shot. Depending on where you scaled the model, in the model data or actor data, try change the scale in the other field.

@Jooon: Go

no, they both have the effect

@illidans911: Go

change the selection radius is a separate scale.

got the same problem with different models like the dragon from wow when hes flying hes taking the whole screen for selecting u allways select him that anoying and u cant change it with any radius options

need a help there too

ok i found an other treath where it says its becouse of the models bounding sphere

dont think wee can change it in galaxy editor

I am having an issue with unit selection myself. Unfortunately for you the information for this is stored inside the model itself and will scale with any parameter which changes the scale of your model. You can manually edit the selection object for your model but with the current tools your options are limited. Nintox recently released an update to his M3 exporter that allows for custom bounding spheres for your model. I am however currently under the impression that there is at least one additional type of bounding object. Some units, the Cube shape as an example, suggest a non-spherical selection behaviour and is more akin to a some form of bounding box. At this time though I am unaware of any method to add or set your modelss selection object to utilise this box shape.

Model > Selection Radius

Will change the size of the green circle on selecting the unit. See attached picture. Helpful note is the editor will show you the size as you change this value.

This doesn't change the click selection though, that would have to do with the import/exporter of models.

so was a solution for this ever found?

if it has to do with the model's bounding sphere... then how could we change that? or can't we? i downloaded the Wall Models (3 Types) to use in my map... but since the wall blocks are 1x1... i scaled them up in X and Y (in the model's Scale Maximum and Scale Minimum) to make it 2x2 in size... it looks great but i am having the problem of selection radius being much bigger then the model now...

@DrSuperEvil: Go

that does sound like a good idea... only i have no idea how i'd go about doing that

I thought i fixed it... let me check my old map.

(Goddamn, looking back two years its so o.o)

@illidans911: Go

i don't know if you fix the problem you had in you map... but i am kinda having a problem like it... that's why i necro-ed your thread *sweatdrop*
but if you did fix it... i'd love to hear your solution... since you never posted it here

Sry mate. xD the map was still when i was running off of a HDD, which i no longer am (the map got wiped)

so i dont know.

@illidans911: Go

well... Development > Data > [Solved]Problem with model selection radius had the solution :)
