How do I select 1 unit at a time?

I'm talking about cloned versions of the same unit.

I want it so that if I click on a unit it becomes selected (Instance variable "selected" = 1)

Then if I click a cloned version of that same unit, I want the currently selected unit to be deselected (Variable "selected" = 0) and the new unit to become selected.

The way I tried it didn't work, and I can't think of any other way to do it.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks

variable selectedUID

event

on clicked objectX

action

set selectedUID = objectX.UID

set objectX.selected = 1

sub event

pick all objectX

pick objectX by evaluate where objectX.UID <> selectedUID

action

set objectX.selected = 0

Hey thanks for the response. I typed in the code and it isn't working. It might be because I'm not exactly sure what it is I'm looking at though and just typed it in wrong, I'm pretty new to this sort of thing.

Anyone know if I did something wrong?

Sorry I also should have mentioned that I wanted to make it so that if I clicked on nothing that it would deselect my current target.

Thanks again

SelectedUID should be a global or local variable, not instance variable of sprite, then it would work.
