I am trying to make a RTS game, and I want to have the "cursor" controlled with eight-directions. I know I can make it easier with mouse and such but I really want this to work.
any ideas?

do you mean moving it with the arrow keys?
if so, give it an 8 directional movement and hide the mouse cursor, if you don't want the real cursor showing

Hmm maybe I should explain it better 
the problem is that when I activate a unit that is standing close to a simliar units, I cant make it so only one of them is activated. so all of the units will go for where I want them to go.
is there a way to make only 1 unit beeing active?

There is an event called "choose object at random", then it will only apply to one object.

Sorry, I misread his post. I thought that he didn't care which one moved.

that's where "pick random unit" comes in. It only picks between the ones that have been clicked on, not all of them
