− | Selection rank | + | Selection rank determines which units are selected when dragging a selection box around units with different ranks. Only the units in the selection box with the highest rank are selected. This is what keeps buildings and construction units from being selected with combat units. |
− | + | By default, most buildings have selection rank 1, factories and constructors have rank 2, and all combat units have rank 3. Selection rank can be changed for selected units, or it may be changed globally in the options menu. For example, if you don't want your Commander or anti-air units to be selected with the rest of your combat units, reduce their selection rank. | |
− | [[ | + | The default selection rank of units is customizable through Default Unit States in the [[Ingame Menu]]. |
− | + | You can bypass selection rank by holding {{key press|Shift}} while dragging. You will select all units/buildings in the box. | |
− | + | A selection rank of 0 is an exception. Units that are set to 0 will ignore many catch-all selections such as {{key press|Ctrl}}-{{key press|A}} and {{key press|Ctrl}}-{{key press|Z}} | |
