Putting in any value in the x y z of Selection offset doesn't change anything to the green selection circle. The selection radius does work so its the right model etc.
The reason why I move the model (in 3ds max) away from the center point is so the units spawn from that point. So I have to move the selection circle to compensate the change. Which I'm confused about why the offset doesn't do anything.
I'm guessing its a bug in the editor... I opened a new map tried to move the selection offset in there and it doesn't move at all. Any creative ideas make a dummy object or so and use that to show the selection decal. How would I do that? Or perhaps make my own selection circle?
This under the Models data type? How big a value did you put in because if I recall the offset is in pixels.
There is also the Unit Ring actor type that should allow you to create your own selection circle while the (None): Ring Radius field of your Unit actor should allow you to hide the default one.
I tried 5, 50 and even 50 000 and it doesn't move at all. I've also tried to hide the unit ring. (None): Ring Radius is by default 0.0 . And changing it to a higher number seems to add a glow but nothing related to a selection circle. I tested this on the Terran command center.
I assume I have to put selection radius on 0 . Then make an event to spawn the selection actor. But then how does that stay on the model? I guess I'm looking in the wrong direction..
Make a Selection type actor. Use Selection Update (Local) events on Start/Stop to Create/Destroy the actor. Set the Art: Model to the Selection Local model. The Art: Inner Width is the diameter of the selection circle and the Art: Inner Width is the thickness of the rim. The Art: inner Offset Ratio is the size of the fall off region and the Art: Inner Boundary Ratio is the size of the inner clear area. The sum of the previous two fields must be 1. The Art: Inner Boundary Fall off Ratio determines how fast the colour falls off.
Attach it using a SOpAttachOrigin SOp and then a SOp (Local Offset) SOp. Also host it on your Unit actor.

Ok apparently I just had to add a Ref_Origin (in 3ds max) to its new center. Then the standard selection circle uses the origin point to base the selection circle around. In hindsight how could I miss that...

ModeratorsJust tested it and seems a Selection actor is what you need. My bad.

Thanks for putting me in the right direction !
