Here is my game's code thus far:
HIDE MOUSE
Set Display Mode 1024,768,32
Sync On : Sync Rate 60
Backdrop On : Color Backdrop 0
Autocam off
`===========================VARIABLE INITILIZATION===================================
`These variables affect the movement and rotation speeds of the camera:
Global CamScrollSpeed# as float = 4.0 `The rate at which the camera scrolls.
Global CamAngle# as float = 45.0 `This is the start angle of the camera.
Global CamRadius# as float = 100.0 `This holds the rotation radius for the camera.
Global CamHeight# as float = 200.0 `This holds the height of the camera from the ground, upwards.
Global Camobj as integer `This holds the ID of the object that the camera will be attached to.
type gData
groundobj as integer `Stores the object number of the groud model
groundtex as integer `Stores the image number of the ground texture
selectedunits as integer `Stores the number of units the player has selected
EndType
Remstart
The next two variables store the Map Size X/Z which can then be used to keep the camera
and the 3D cursor from going off the edge of the map.
Changing these affects the size of the map, but will not cause any problems.
Remend
Global MapSizeX as integer = 5000 `Stores the X size of the battlefield.
Global MapSizeZ as integer = 5000 `Stores the Z size of the battlefield.

one as boolean `Left Mouse button
two as boolean `Right Mouse Button

four as boolean `Middle Button/Scroll Wheel Click

I'm stuck on trying to get a selection/movement system going, I've tried all the snippets I could find around here, but none of them seemed to work. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
