A way to disable multi-select?

Is there a way to disable the player from selecting multiple units at once via double-click? I know you can disable drag-select, but what about double-clicking?

I am looking for an elegant way. I know I can detect the double-select and force and single select, but just checking for alternatives.

I'd say there are no alternatives.

I was thinking about maps where I might have seen this, and splatter TD came to mind. They made the units owned by another player, and then when you select, it becomes yours. Since you can't select multiple units owned by another player and I don't necessarily need them owned by the using player until they are selected, this works perfect for me.

+rep though, cause you rock!

Maybe have a group of units you want selected, that force the player to select them every X (time) via the selecting triggers (BTW I think I got that idea from Taur's tutorial down at Clan CBS). That might work

cant you do something like:
Trigger:
Trigger1
Collapse Events
Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
Conditions
Collapse Actions
Trigger - Add to (Trigger 2) the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Is selected)

Trigger:
Trigger 2
Events
Conditions
Collapse Actions
Selection - Select (Triggering unit) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

bam, single unit selection!
