9.11 Selectable

Component: Selectable

This component implements a generic selection system for your game. To use add some indicators to the prefab you wish to be selectable like green circles around the feet or arrows above the head. Also determine if you want any functionality to occur when the object is selected for example opening a production menu on unit production structures. Add all of these to the appropriate lists above. Then, send the ’Select’ and ’Deselect’ messages to the object when appropriate using any message sender.
