Looking for method which handles selection of builindgs

[wetswan]

Hi,
I'm trying to get an overview and wanted to start with something simple that should happen when a building is selected (just for testing). So far I have been unable to find the method/routine that handles selection of builindgs.
Could anybody please point me in the right direction?

I suppose there is the current "select object" logic :)

CnC_Remastered_Collection/REDALERT/OBJECT.CPP

Lines 1209 to 1283 in fc5cd5a

	/***********************************************************************************************
	* ObjectClass::Select -- Try to make this object the "selected" object. *
	* *
	* This routine is used to make this object into the one that is "selected". A selected *
	* object usually displays a floating bar graph and is available to be given orders from *
	* the player's I/O. *
	* *
	* INPUT: allow_mixed -- Allow a mix of player and non-player controlled units? *
	* *

	bool ObjectClass::Select(bool allow_mixed)
	{
	assert(this != 0);
	assert(IsActive);

	//}
	// Updated to function for multiplayer - 6/26/2019 JAS
	if (!Debug_Map && (Is_Selected_By_Player() || !Class_Of().IsSelectable)) {
	return(false);
	}
	if (!Debug_Map && Can_Player_Move() && Is_Techno() && ((TechnoClass *)this)->IsALoaner) {

	}
	/*

	if (Height > 0 && (What_Am_I() == RTTI_UNIT || What_Am_I() == RTTI_VESSEL || What_Am_I() == RTTI_INFANTRY)) {
	return(false);
	}
	/*
	** Don't allow selection of object when in building placement mode.
	*/
	if (Map.PendingObject) {
	return(false);
	}
	if (!allow_mixed) {
	/*
	** If selecting an object of a different house than the player's, make sure that
	** the entire selection list is cleared.
	*/
	for (int i = 0; i < CurrentObject.Count(); i++) {
	HouseClass * tryhptr = HouseClass::As_Pointer(Owner());
	HouseClass * oldhptr = HouseClass::As_Pointer(CurrentObject[i]->Owner());
	// if (Owner() != CurrentObject[0]->Owner() || CurrentObject[0]->Owner() != PlayerPtr->Class->House) {
	if (oldhptr->IsPlayerControl != tryhptr->IsPlayerControl) {
	Unselect_All();
	break;
	}
	}
	}
	if (In_Which_Layer() == LAYER_GROUND) Mark(MARK_OVERLAP_UP);
	//IsSelected = true;
	// Updated to function for multiplayer - 6/26/2019 JAS
	Set_Selected_By_Player();
	if (In_Which_Layer() == LAYER_GROUND) Mark(MARK_OVERLAP_DOWN);
	return(true);
	}

But i can be wrong because i'm not a c++ dev actually. Just also researching source code )

Or this one:

CnC_Remastered_Collection/REDALERT/TECHNO.CPP

Lines 2709 to 2744 in fc5cd5a

	return(false);
	}
	if (RadioClass::Select(allow_mixed)) {
	/*

	if (House->IsPlayerControl && AllowVoice) {
	Response_Select();
	}
	return(true);
	}
	return(false);
	}

Thanks, good points. Will check those :) Still digging through it, would be great if there was some more documentation besides the code comments.
