@Christian4569 u should check out hotkeys in main menu. Then general ---> Camera ---> to the main structure. There must be backspace or whatever u want.
To make this 100x more efficient i recommend changing the it from the backspace to the spacebar. I never find myself using the spacebar to go to the last thing that was researched. So it is a good button to switch.
Better way, hotkey all of your queens onto one control group and then just hit inject larva then hit the general area that your hatches are on the minimap, game AI auto-picks the closest queen to that hatch and makes them inject that hatch.
I think my method for larvae injection is a bit more effecient and easier, ust use the mini map while u have the ability ready when you scroll over a hatchery your targeting icon turns green.
@traxgod2 hey i recommend getting a mouse with 2 side buttons and remapone button to number 0 and the other button to backspace....that way you just press shift, and then both the side buttons...It makes it really easy and fast to do....I use it and its really helped me out
You have to take your hand off of your mouse to hit the backspace button - correct? It would be nice to see that in the video - physically hitting the backspace and clicking.
another good tip is to remap that backspace button to something on your left hand (assuming you are a righty). i mapped my base toggle key to spacebar. so i just hit v, shift click, space, click, space, click... etc.
I personally think easiest way is to put queens to one hotkey and then click all hatcheries in the minimap. It is quite easy, because you dont even have to be very precise.
I think the best way (I'm not sure) is to hotkey your all hatcheries to one hotkey (My situation-5) And all queens to other (My situation-6). Then when you need to larva inject, just press 6, Hold shift and press V and use the click on the hatcheries using the mini map
Ok guys hotkeying all your queens is very effective however, you can hit V and then just click your hatches on the minimap to spawn larva....its that easy boyz
The only problem you can get from using this method (really only affects lower level players) is when you inject a hatchery that does not have its own queen. You may end up walking a random queen to its death. When you get better, you'll catch the queen.
@TickyTok i have a question, when i try to change my hotkeys in the hotkey menu it gives u the choices of terran, toss, zerg and global but nothing on changing the backspace to "q" or whatever. can u help?
Try rebinding backspace to W, so you press 33 (my queen hotkeys) V then hold shift, W click, W click untill all hatches are done, then double tap 1 (my army) without the awkwards hand movment
Don't do any other injection method. This is by far the fastest and best method. If you're a casual player and not a pro you can remap the backspace key to the tilde (`) key so it makes it so much easier since you don't have to press backspace on the other side of the keyboard
Faster way: Put all your queens in one control. Then V and click on each part of the minimap where u have a hatchery, that way, the closest queen will go and inject larva, assuming you have 3 hatchs and 3 queens, while in battle you just select the queens V click V click V click and you go on with your battle, NEVER EVER EVER take your sight out of the battle
I think injecting larvas with the minimap is much more useful because you can also follow the Battle And neednt to change your Camera position .. Example ZvZ you have mass zerglings And your Enemy controls also banelings And he Attacks with His banelings While you inject =- you Army is Dead .. If you inject with the minimap you see: fuck banelings you go fast ob you Army Hotkey And Run Away with your Strategy you Even don't know that there are Coming banelings
@Darkbribe09 The only issue I can see using the minimap is you have to move the mouse around more. by going to each of your hatcheries you can just keep your mouse about in the middle of the screen,but if it works for you then go for it!
I rebound inject to r, and select base to tab. All of my queens are on my 4 hotkey, so all I have to do is hit 4-tab-r-click-tab-r-click-tab-r-click.
It sucks that queens even exist, its a bunch of extra clicks for no reason. same thing with the chrono boost and those faster suv's.... blizzard shoulda coulda left that extra clicky shit out.
Better technique: Put all queens on 1 contrl group. The queens must be next each hatch you want to inject larvae into. Select the contrl group, hit V or X, and select a hatchery on the minimap. The cursor will turn green when hover over a hatch. You can inject all hatches in about 2 secs
If you're getting bored of the "backspace" technique, you can just remap the backspace key to something more feasible for you (and your particular keyboard). There's a lot of free software allowing that, so perhaps you can speed up your larva injection even further.
For example, I've remapped my left backslash (near left shift) to backspace, so that it's easy for me to cope with the task single-handedly. Anyway I haven't ever used that backslash...
I actually find it easiest to put all four queens on 1 hotkey... and you can just use v for spawn larva and click at the hatchery on the mini map. Just found out you can do this yesterday, but it is great!
The problem with using the minimap technique is that the queens can get accidentally shifted around to different hatcheries which can mess up your macro REALLY bad. You need visual confirmation that the queen next to the hatch is actually the one doing the spawning. If a queen is low on energy, for example, using the minimap technique will pull off a queen from another hatch.
@cybnetsurfe3011 I'm surprised this has not happened to you because a distant queen will spawn the larva if the closest queen does not have sufficient energy to do the spawning. Here is a quick video demonstrating:
hey man, you can select your queens, shift-v and then shift-click on the minimap on all your hatcheries. it's really fast. good job on the videos, i wish you released them more often.
I have a mouse with programable buttons. I use my thumb button (side of the mouse) as backspace. I can then hit v and hold shift with 1 hand, and then hit backspace with the other hand, all while spamming click in the middle of the screen.
You can edit an mpq file to change keys, but that probably violates the eula and they just announced that they're gonna start cracking down on violations. Activision Blizzard makes me disappoint.
hmm not a bad way of doing it but i think psystarcraft's way is still the best. Once you get the keystrokes down it isn't really any faster and you don't have the issue of all your queens accidentally running away. You can also hotkey your queen with your army if you are defending against reapers or w/e and it will still take you back to the hatch and your queen will run there. You also get the benefit of being able to jump around between your bases exceptionally fast and respond to harass.
Why holding down shift? i try it without and it works , i assume A.I is set that queen nearest to the clicked hatch is goin to inject it. Anyway , handy tip , makes you macro much better (esp. vs. Protoss in desert oasis)
i use mini map put all your queens in one hot key click the hotkey for your queens hit v then hold shift while clicking all your hatcherys on mini map
Clicking the mini map is actually one of the slowest methods, but easiest. if you're on big map, the hatchery can be small on the mini map and take a full second to accurately click it. I either hotkey my queen to my hatchery group and press the tab button to cycle, or just hotkey my hatcheries and double tap it so i can just click my queens fast.
This method seems annoying, I use the mini map with shift click. You don't have to change the camera and the cursor doesn't change color if there are already larva hatching. This is great if you aren't used to the timing.
k I'm confused by some of the comments. Give me quick definitive answers:
1.) Is using this shift + click technique banned in tournaments?
2.) Is my Razor Copperhead banned in tournaments?
3.) Which is better, this shift click technique, or the mini-map click? I would think the mini-map technique is actually WORSE because the A.I. probably can't distinguish what Queen you're asking to inject larvae with, so a queen on hatchery 3 may move to spawn larvae on hatchery 1 and so forth.
hey errbody, yesterday i was playin with my friends, i was playin toss and all of a sudden i had 2 new units - dark zealots, and scouts. i dont know about any other races, but dark zealots are basicly fast moving zealots that can use blink without training, a you need dark shrine to make them. scouts are air units that cost somewhere between a phoenix and a void ray, that can be created without a fleet beacon. they can attack air and ground... spread the word :p
Hey Trebis, I play protoss, and I do this a faster way with chrono boost. Im pretty sure it will work for zerg too. I hotkey all my nexus, then I chrono boost each nexus by clicking on the map instead of backspacing to each individual nexus. Im sure you can hotkey all your quens and use the larva inject ability on each hatchery by clicking them on the map without actually having to look at the hatchery/base.
@AdmiralTiggy Hey Admiral, very true. I've been using this method until I discovered the shift click ability. I have to be honest that clicking the mini map can be very annoying at times as you have to click right into the small area(even smaller on bigger maps) in order for it to work. I find this method better cause you can work it into a habit and can make sure you are also looking at each base as you tab through so you'll see if you're missing guys at gas etc.
I stopped doing this because if you put up another hatch but you don't have a queen there yet, it can be really annoying. You end up sending the queen at your natural to your third or something.
Any use of one key/click/button press to do multiple actions is banned. Even the official Blizzard peripherals are technically against the TOS/TOU/Whatever Blizzard is calling it these days.
hi, first of all, im so excited about this idea, im trying this right nao. but somehow it does not work. hitting backspace does nothing for me. any idea what could be wrong? im playing standard grid
i got a worker related question: most professional players almost instantly menage to get 3 workers into a gas building. these workers don't carry minerals. how's that possible? if i want 3 workers that don't carry minerals, i have to click on each of them right after they got rid of their minerals and then move them into the gas building. what's the best technique to do this as fast as possible?
@Sinwori Select 3 workers from your mineral line, with minerals or not doesn't matter. Rightclick your Assimilator/Refinery/Extractor and hit c afterwards. If they carry a mineral they will first bring it to your mainbuilding and then proceed to collect the gas.
I heard about key bind (i think its called) to resent the keys but then I thought if Idra and other great Zerg players can do without it then I can probably go without it too.
The technique I use is to hotkey all queens to one group, hi they key, Shift+V then click all the hatches on the minimap. Just been thinking it over and I reckon yours is probably a faster with practise. On the other hand, the method I use currently has the advantage of not being forced to move vision away from a fight.
@duffath As cool as that is, it is also considered cheating according to Blizzard's policy. You are basically using an advantage from your hardware to do something the other players cannot, which equals cheating. To others, I highly DO NOT recommend using this macro.
@SC2NoobSchool Blizzard don't care if people use programmable keys. A lot of the official SC2 peripherals have them. Can you point me to the section of the EULA which forbids macro keys?
@Macaque909 Apparently I was mistaken, and macros are only banned in tournaments (as they should be.) That said, I'm still very against using keyboard macros, as it is clearly an unfair advantage imo.
I dont like this choise of queen managing...what if u can't manage to get one queen at each base, what if one of your queens die? what if u want to put up a macro hatch? all of these things screws up this technique. i say, the hotkey each queen metode or the one where u hotkey all ur queens and inject by just clicking ur hatch on the map, is far superior to the one shown at this video... these techniques doesn't have any weakneses like the one shown here has.
Awesome! Great tutorial!

Why holding down shift? i try it without and it works , i assume A.I is set that queen nearest to the clicked hatch is goin to inject it. Anyway , handy tip , makes you macro much better (esp. vs. Protoss in desert oasis)

@winterhear I think without holding shift you'd need to keep hitting V to spawn the larvae, right? Holding shift is a little easier usually

Very interesting method! I didn't know that backspace did that function. I'm gonna practice this tomorrow and get ouf of the minimap method!
Catalyst8487 1 year ago
Clicking the mini map is actually one of the slowest methods, but easiest. if you're on big map, the hatchery can be small on the mini map and take a full second to accurately click it. I either hotkey my queen to my hatchery group and press the tab button to cycle, or just hotkey my hatcheries and double tap it so i can just click my queens fast.

This method seems annoying, I use the mini map with shift click. You don't have to change the camera and the cursor doesn't change color if there are already larva hatching. This is great if you aren't used to the timing.

k I'm confused by some of the comments. Give me quick definitive answers:
1.) Is using this shift + click technique banned in tournaments?
2.) Is my Razor Copperhead banned in tournaments?
3.) Which is better, this shift click technique, or the mini-map click? I would think the mini-map technique is actually WORSE because the A.I. probably can't distinguish what Queen you're asking to inject larvae with, so a queen on hatchery 3 may move to spawn larvae on hatchery 1 and so forth.

@RelVleDy
Your last point is wrong...
The A.I. notices which queen stands near to the heach,
so you only have to put them into position and everything
works. it´s harder to click, if you have a lot of units or buildings
near to the hatch...

hey errbody, yesterday i was playin with my friends, i was playin toss and all of a sudden i had 2 new units - dark zealots, and scouts. i dont know about any other races, but dark zealots are basicly fast moving zealots that can use blink without training, a you need dark shrine to make them. scouts are air units that cost somewhere between a phoenix and a void ray, that can be created without a fleet beacon. they can attack air and ground... spread the word :p

Hey Trebis, I play protoss, and I do this a faster way with chrono boost. Im pretty sure it will work for zerg too. I hotkey all my nexus, then I chrono boost each nexus by clicking on the map instead of backspacing to each individual nexus. Im sure you can hotkey all your quens and use the larva inject ability on each hatchery by clicking them on the map without actually having to look at the hatchery/base.

@AdmiralTiggy i used to do that, but the way that trebis explains is literally 10 times faster :) for zerg that is

@AdmiralTiggy Hey Admiral, very true. I've been using this method until I discovered the shift click ability. I have to be honest that clicking the mini map can be very annoying at times as you have to click right into the small area(even smaller on bigger maps) in order for it to work. I find this method better cause you can work it into a habit and can make sure you are also looking at each base as you tab through so you'll see if you're missing guys at gas etc.

I stopped doing this because if you put up another hatch but you don't have a queen there yet, it can be really annoying. You end up sending the queen at your natural to your third or something.

Any use of one key/click/button press to do multiple actions is banned. Even the official Blizzard peripherals are technically against the TOS/TOU/Whatever Blizzard is calling it these days.

hi, first of all, im so excited about this idea, im trying this right nao. but somehow it does not work. hitting backspace does nothing for me. any idea what could be wrong? im playing standard grid

i got a worker related question: most professional players almost instantly menage to get 3 workers into a gas building. these workers don't carry minerals. how's that possible? if i want 3 workers that don't carry minerals, i have to click on each of them right after they got rid of their minerals and then move them into the gas building. what's the best technique to do this as fast as possible?
Sinwori 1 year ago
@Sinwori just take them as they turn in their minerals!
007airsoft 1 year ago
@Sinwori I just make a select box near the Command Center so a couple who are nearby returning minerals get selected only..
chilly111 1 year ago
@Sinwori Select 3 workers from your mineral line, with minerals or not doesn't matter. Rightclick your Assimilator/Refinery/Extractor and hit c afterwards. If they carry a mineral they will first bring it to your mainbuilding and then proceed to collect the gas.

this trick is awesome. injecting larva all the time was one of my main problems.

I heard about key bind (i think its called) to resent the keys but then I thought if Idra and other great Zerg players can do without it then I can probably go without it too.

The technique I use is to hotkey all queens to one group, hi they key, Shift+V then click all the hatches on the minimap. Just been thinking it over and I reckon yours is probably a faster with practise. On the other hand, the method I use currently has the advantage of not being forced to move vision away from a fight.

@duffath As cool as that is, it is also considered cheating according to Blizzard's policy. You are basically using an advantage from your hardware to do something the other players cannot, which equals cheating. To others, I highly DO NOT recommend using this macro.

@SC2NoobSchool Blizzard don't care if people use programmable keys. A lot of the official SC2 peripherals have them. Can you point me to the section of the EULA which forbids macro keys?
Macaque909 1 year ago
@Macaque909 Apparently I was mistaken, and macros are only banned in tournaments (as they should be.) That said, I'm still very against using keyboard macros, as it is clearly an unfair advantage imo.

@SC2NoobSchool
in tournaments, can you bind mouse key to a key, not saying to macro, only binds?
I saw at best buy 100$ keyboards made for sc2 and approved by blizzard sticker on it.

@SC2NoobSchool
I dont like this choise of queen managing...what if u can't manage to get one queen at each base, what if one of your queens die? what if u want to put up a macro hatch? all of these things screws up this technique. i say, the hotkey each queen metode or the one where u hotkey all ur queens and inject by just clicking ur hatch on the map, is far superior to the one shown at this video... these techniques doesn't have any weakneses like the one shown here has.
