It's a lot easier in MMF because you can use an Active System Box that has collision built-in. However, if you're doing it in TGF:
• X position of (Unit) >= X( "Top left of selection box" )
+ X position of (Unit) <= X( "Bottom right of selection box" )
+ Y position of (Unit) >= Y( "Top left of selection box" )
+ Y position of (Unit) <= Y( "Bottom right of selection box" )
(Unit) : Set internal flag 0 on
Here, I'm assuming that to select an object you set their internal flag 0 to ON.

If you have to ask this question, then no offence but I have to assume you've made a primative drag box (something like a square that just gets bigger or 'shoots' the sides). If this is the case, and you want to make a proper one, you want 8 objets that look like lines, with each direction being twice as long as the previous one. These will form the sides. Then you just have to set two at each corner of the box, one going up and the other horizontal (set them at the corner by setting their X or Y coordinates to the original point or mouse appropriately) and then tell them that every time the distance between the mouse and original click is greater than twice the length of the side (eg Xa-Xb>2, Xa-Xb>4, Xa-Xb>8 etc.) move the direction of animation up one. This way the sides will overlap until the distance apart is too great, then they both get longer and overlap again, forming continuous lines. Sorry if that seems a bit hard to follow but it's hard to explain in full.

Although he sounded a little condescending I'm sure it wasn't intentional...

It wasn't intentional, and I knew Chris' equation would work. My post didn't answer that question because he already had. It's just that that part seemed a lot easier to me than creating a drag box (something it took me a while to perfect- I just had floating corners and no lines for ages) so I figures I would try and help you out. If you didn't need the help then at least appreciate the amount of time it took me to type it (and by the way, just because I'm new to the site does not mean I am a click newbie).
