How to unselect groups (After using Ctrl+LMB)

[JG26_EZ]

Hey all

Just curious..

Once I use the control button, along with the left mouse button to drag a square around a group of units, they turn red, and I can move them the way I would like to. I then right click, and click "unselect", but when I select a different set of objects and try to move them, I end up moving the ones I grouped in the first place aswell (they all become one big group).

Any ideas on how to revert them back to individual objects again?

This is kinda buggy (I know I know, imagine that). But what I do is unselect the object by cntrl + alt, then go select another object. If you are still linked to the 1st object grouping, try using alt again and draw a square around an individual object this time. Then repeat with cntrl + alt again and you should be all unselected.

Another thing to try is to highlight one object with alt again and then use cntrl c (copy command) on a different object and then the cntrl + alt method.

This is the only way I could unselect a group...

When a group of objects is selected, put mouse cursor over an unselected unit and press Ctrl+C.

Holding ALT and dragging a square with LMB around all the objects worked for me.

I could not. This would only add the newly selected units to the previously selected units...

Sounds more like the twighlight zone to me.

Can anyone say FMB BUG :rolleyes: An unselect option is pretty fundemental to the fmb functionality, but not fixed/implimented 12 months after the game has been released. Still it's much more important for the dev's to move on to developing BOM that actually fixing cod isn't it :twisted:

What I do is to paste a saved group of objects onto the map (that unselects the first group of objects) then I swipe the newly pasted group & delete them.

Doesn't CTRL+LMB add new object? ALT+LMB should deselect IIRC. Or try CTRL+RMB or ALT+RMB. Can not check now but something worked.

look if you configure the keys !

because for me that work just fine. no bug!

select multiple object = ALT + left mouse click

unselect "" "" = SHIFT + right mouse click


the only bug is people who are unable to use a software :)

Esmiol.. While people can very well be the "bug" in alot of situations, there ARE alot of small "bugs" in the FMB still.

Ataros.. You are correct bud.. it does work using RMB+Alt.

That, and hovering over a single object and hitting Ctrl+C.
