    Hello,
    I had to increase the scale of my unit, by changing the Actor scale.
    However, the Unit is unselectable. I unchecked the "Unselectable" flag in the unit, but no dice. Drag selection won't work either. I'm using Planet Icon Char for my Actor Model. It looks great, but I can't select it.
    Is selection tied to the model or actor specifically?
    Does anyone know how to change the selection size of a unit?

    In either the actor or the unit, there is a data entry called UI - Selection Radius or something similar. I am certain that it is under UI.

    As for it not being selectable, I am not certain what your issue is.

    I solved the problem. I had hidden the terrain cells, as I'm making a space map. When I placed my units, their height was beneath the floor, which was why I could not select them. I simply raised their height, and I can select them just fine now.

    However, the selection circle is off, or the actor is off. The actor is on the ring of the selection circle, like this image.

    So my new problem is figuring out how to center the Actor in the selection circle.

    Any ideas?

    There might be some sort of offset, maybe? Whatever the problem is, it will probably be under UI. I can't really help without more information.

    UI - Selection Radius is not a field in either Unit nor Actor.
    I've looked around, and can't find anything that adjusts offsets or center or what have you.

    Q.Q Let me load up the data editor... I'm pretty sure it's in the actor.
