huh?

There's no way to do that. If he was morphing it to lair, there's no way to turn it back into a drone. So it must have been a hack.

LOL, Lair to......drone?

I like how the larvas follow the drone like the drone is really a hatchery but can produce units. lol just get your drone to "scout" then all of sudden morph 6 lings.

I just saw the rep, it has to be some osrt of hack or someone exploited a glitch, similar to drone floating.
Pretty neat, wow?

It's a different command than the usual cancel lair one. It shows up in bwchart as "cancel train" instead of just "cancel". So yeah, it probably requires a hack.

^^btw that's a terrible deal lol

Ok after watching the rep(which sucked by the way he didn't even use the larva for anything, they just got killed following the drone into enemy units) I googled "moving larva hack starcraft" and got this:

Building morph hack:
After having the ability to make a Lair/Sunken/Spore Colony/Greater
Spire Press Delete on the building to regain a drone and destroying your building.
However this is useful because if you make a Spire and Morph it, you will lose the building but will continue to have the ability to make Mutalisks etc.

It looks like this is what they did, so yeah it is a hack.

There was a glitch a few versions ago that allowed a drone to act as a nydus canal exit. And you could carry it around in an ovie and the units would look like they spawned from the ovie..
People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.

Somewhere, someone is writing a "STARCRAFT 2 MACRO THESIS" based on having an upgrade that causes larvae to follow drones around.
May the BeSt man win.

Definitely this hack is pretty useless lol, I don't know why anyone would use it except for the shock factor your opponent would get if he saw a drone followed by larva just walk into his base.

I watched the replay, they didn't. Until they walked into a photon cannon.

Edit: btw Lemonwalrus, what did your opponent think of a zerg player suddenly having units from the other two races?

i would think that the other player would have thought that lemonwalrus is either the best player ever, or the best hacker ever.

That reminds me of the old nydus glitch where you could cancel the exit and it became a drone. Then you could load the drone into an overlord, and the point where you loaded last becomes the exit. Then you drop their main with a few units (including the drone), reload the drone, then send the overlord back to your main and you have a permanent nydus exit in their main that they can't kill.

Of course if the drone died, the game crashed, but it was funny as shit just nydusing into their main when nothing is there.

What the hell, ultra cool glitch! Would be better though if the drone had 1250 hp like the original hatchery The drone even created a bit of creep at the beginning, but stopped when it walked off its own creep.

That bug actually worked for any build and unit selection combination. The nydus canal trick was based on giving a nydus canal the "cancel" command that was actually meant for an egg or whatever you could cancel. You could do similar things like cancel an archon that's building to crash the game lol.

Why do people say this is useless? If you did it with your spire you would get a free drone and your opponent wouldnt be able to kill your spire, yet you could still build mutas + scourge.

And more importantly, he wouldn't be able to scout you were going for mutas even if he scanned/obsed your whole base. That would totally catch him off guard and gg.
