Has anyone ever laid a spider mine and then recalled the unit being chased by the spider mine to another part of the map. What happens - does the spider mine run over to them like how the interceptors do that for carriers?

Dont think so... Because mines aren't a part of a unit... When they get laied, they will be there until you die/or they get used/killed.... so doubt it..

Carrier inteseptors are a part of a carrier....

I would assume the spider mine would just go back into the ground.

No.

Think about it this way, if a zealot dies, the mine doesn't follow the zealot's soul back to Aiur and implant itself into the dragoon, does it? Stop asking such silly questions.

spider mine would burrow itself again, just like when a mine activates when a unit is near but then the unit dies before the mine can get to it it just re burrows and waits to acquire a new target.

why don't you try it yourself? I would but I'm about to go to sleep right now. I may try it tomorrow if I remember. Mines only reburrow when the unit dies as far as i know, but they MIGHT reburrow if the unit gets recalled. This also raises the equally philosophical question: What does a mine do when the target unit gets stasised before the mine can explode?

Wouldn't it be similar to picking up the unit with a shuttle? The only difference being that the unit is actually somewhere else on the map rather than stored inside the shuttle, but in either case the unit disappears from the general vicinity.

Movie I believe, from the recent Avalon MSL Ro32 group F winners match. The whole match is worth a watch actually.

i tried it. just then then (T)Flash appeared next to me, and as he touched my shoulder we were both whisked away to the Terran Hideout where everyone (i.e. ooV, Nada, Boxer, Bogus and co.) was there to congratulate and welcome me into the Fellowship. More details as they come. . .

I'd offer to test with somebody, but my computer is going through one of its "I can't open blizzard games" phases, and I don't feel like restarting.

it stops

because the unit gets cloaked, hence spider mine 'loses' target

whenever a spider mine unmorphs, it must have a legal target or else it'll fizzle, in this case, unmorph (reburrow)

Then what if the arbiter dies the second it casts recall? That way the units will not get cloaked.

What happens if an unit that is being chased by a spider mine and is recalled by an arbiter that gets killed and the recall places said unit exactly under a landing CC?

I tried it on October 13th. Then just as soon as I was about to do it I was warped through time back to relive October 12th from the beginning. Only now I'm posting this on TL. Gonna try this again tomorrow.

I would guess it goes back in the ground because the recalled unit's are no longer on the map for a split second
