not sure if that is correct, i just looked at the widget.
There seems to be this array
Code: Select all
-- Get units command applies to
local mUnits = {}
where it puts units that will be affected.
So during the creation of this array the air units must be filterd out. Maybe this way?
Code: Select all
for uDefID, uIDs in pairs(units) do
if commandApplies(0, uDefID, cmdTag and UNIT IS NOT AIR) then
The cap stuff should check if the is air by looking at a tag all air units share, like uhm no idea what this could be you probally know better.
edit
if you add
any planes in the selection will not get the order to spread across the curvy formation line. if you just click they will fly there. crtl click works too but not line move. dont know how to fix line move sorry.

wtf am i writing

The easiest and friendliest way is just to set your widgets layer in :GetInfo to below that of custom formations, then return true on your widgets :MousePress if your specific criteria (i.e. only air selected) is met. This prevents custom formations 2 being informed about the mouse press and as a result it won't do anything at all.

No, because when both planes and kbots are selected, you probably still want kbots to use custom formation.

My air formation widget does not use the mousepress function.
Should i add it just so that it would block the mouse detection in custom formations?
the layer in my widget is lower than in custom formations.

To stop the lines being drawn you would handle mousepress.
To handle single-click only, you would use CommandNotify (as you have), which would work fine except that custom formations likes to send out fake commandnotifies which screw it up nicely.
I'll be releasing a new custom formations within a few days which fixes quite a few things, mainly related to faked and incorrect CommandNotifys. It'll let your current widget as-is work fine with single-click, but you'll still need the mousepress part to prevent lines being drawn.
