Select all the units you want to load, Hold SHIFT and right click 1 dropship, Continue to hold SHIFT and rightclick as many dropships as you want, They will go in that order, Hope that makes sense. | ||

i mean it's better to select the units and shiftclick the ships, not shiftclick the units with the ships. | ||

 and zulu, I don't think that's the way either, 'cause if done as you say it, only dropships move towards units, units remain still and they load one by one again, it's really not that fast either, I'm sure he has some other way of doing it. | ||

Actually you can see in his fp vods that mini is right.It's how nada and other pros do it. | ||

Shift click is so awessome. If I have an island and want to transfer units through transport, I box-click 12 workers, hold ship, click on shuttle/dship, then click on mineral again (holding shift) and what happens is that 8 out of 12 of the workers go in, and the rest of the 4 go back to work. I also do this when loading mass amounts of units into multiple transports. This way they fill up all the transport before they go to the next one. | ||

And VERY easy! :DTo speed up the shift+click loading, order the dropships to move over the units that need to be picked up after you've given the shift+click orders. They will still load up the units, and do so in full flight. A more interesting technique is unloading groups of dropships while they are still moving. I can do it 50% of the time, which is too risky for me. I usually just clone individual dropspots, or if controlling just one dropships, i right-click-move and left-click unit portraits. | ||

However, if you have more than 1 transport unit, MiNi's idea is probably the best way. | ||

I mean i do it everytime because i'm zerg and i load a lot of units... Basically it's like he said : you have for example 20 marines and 4 medics. And the dropships are far from them, what do you do ? simply right click the 3 dropship (and I MEAN NO SHIFT cauz otherwise all the dropships won't move) then shift right click to the dropship that are moving. Repeat with the rest of the group, doesn't matter which drop you want them to be loading as long as you shift clicked all the dropship (would be better cauz there'll always be units that'd be stucked). If there's a unit that didn't load then just right click the unit with all ur dropship selected. It's just plain simple. | ||

Select a group of units, right-click on a Dropship to load them all, Shift-click to another Dropship, then another, then another, etc. Then select a different group of units, right-click on the end dropship, then Shift-click the rest of the dropships in reverse order. That's what I do and it works great for me. What do to load fast is shift click like everyone is saying plaus select all my overlords/dropships/whatever and move them over units so they find the dropship faster while also choosing some dropships to load some units. | ||
