So far in my RTS I have

-A ground
-The ability to move the camera around with the mouse

Now I want to add a few basic units. Would these just be like buttons, you click them and click somewhere else to make them move? If so, how would I do that?

Sorry, don't mean to be pushy or anything.

Thanks in advance.

Best thing to do is to use the PICK SCREEN command to find which unit has been clicked (you can use MOUSEX() and MOUSEY() to find where the mouse has clicked on the screen)

Once the unit has been clicked, you're on your own AI pathfinding coding can be tricky, but you'll learn more about programming if you try to work it out yourself!
