I have been trying to figure out the best ways to go about having a click system much like traditional strategy games... but Shift+click doesn't seem to be a real option and right click is basically out of the question.

Any suggestions on how to do a traditional RTS click system?

I put a click system in Fate that reminds me of an RTS... The "click" in it, though, is pretty universal to everything, so you may end up doing the wrong thing if your mouse is too far from where you wanted to go.

I say, just use a drag and drop + box system to select units, and then just a simple click on something that isn't 1 tile from the person will make them run towards it, or if it's on the next tile (or if they run to the next tile), do the action for it.

Shift+Click should be selecting a unit, and clicking should make them do an action! =p

(You can use Loduwijk's library for doing stuff such as shift+click)

yes yes it will! I love it! Saves me a lot of work. I just need to fit it into my current move proc and ditch the includes... and make it work and wallah! Assuming of course, I can assimilate it properly.
