are you on 3 gas and protoss is on 1? then no but the above scenario is highly unlikely, so youre going to have to give more details as to which exact scenarios youre talking about | ||

So not necessarily a dedicated one, but one where it is either a task, or where you need to hit targets with say 6 spinecrawlers. I noticed that I struggle quite a bit with it, but not because of my inability but because my pc doesn't seem to work too well with broodwar and switching controlgroups rapidly + a-move... Detail: I need to meticulously seperate a-click from 2, then a-click from 3 otherwise some groups end up doing nothing when I finished. I guess my mouse-click gets registered after I pressed the next number? 1a2a3a4a5a6a <---see this doesn't make problems, but ingame it does.? | ||

In BW if you're clicking your mouse the game doesn't accept keyboard inputs. As far as practice you can go on single player on an empy map and use cheats to build whatever you want. You can also just use the 4 initial workers to do it. I don't know about any map specific for that purpose. | ||

When you're a-moving multiple groups of units you're usually just clicking on the same place. | ||

But his problem was with clicking, right? As in, 1a click 2a click 3a click and not all of the groups a moved? This solves that issue, and it trains mouse accuracy/targetting. Two birds one stone. EDIT: If you read his request, he asks for something where you hit things with 6 "spine crawlers" so actually this is exactly the type of thing that he was looking for. | ||

When you a-move your army you want to do it as fast as possible, whereas if you're targeting a moving object accuracy comes into play which lowers speed. He didn't specify if the 'spine crawlers' would be hitting the same target or a moving one but I think we can assume by the remaining description that it would be the first case. | ||

At first, this game is not very demanding, and you can do the first waves of 3 Medics slowly. As the game progresses, you have to do it faster and faster, improving your ability to move armies in real-game situations. It ALSO improves accuracy to a slightly lesser degree, because it is rare that enemy units move in such a uniform pattern, but it is still a useful skill for targeting specific units. Why do you think this UMS was made in the first place? It wasn't to practice killing allied Medics with 1-shot Cannons. It was to practice 1a2a3a, as the name implies. You're splitting hairs. He said "targets," which implies multiple, which this map has. So, no, we cannot assume that he meant that the "spine crawlers" would be hitting the same target. The only logical way to have multiple static structures kill multiple targets without running out would be to have them move past the static structures, or be spawned. In either case, you would STILL have to move your mouse to accurately target multiple targets. | ||

Side note: I got ultra quick (for my terms) in building with scvs by doing a UMS defense map aswell, just because I had so much fun (eager) only building buildings repeatedly over several hours ( I had to simulate 6 missing players...) A single target would have been fine aswell actually! I don't think it is important but since you wondered: I said 'targets' because I didn't assume one would have made a map with only one target. The downside of this map only 3 cannon ;o (I have never tried lol, but maybe I can edit the map with longer cooldown cannons thusly needing 5 cannon to beat it.) | ||

Its very sad to me to see that sayle, xkcd and bisudagger do not seem to upload any commentaries on their channels anymore. I haven't been uploading any because AfreecaTV had rights to all vods of the last tournament I casted. Current tournaments are run at very bad times for me to cast currently, but I am working on unleashing a torrent of vods very shortly. Hopefully we can fulfill your vod needs soon  | ||

I think targeting takes slightly more time, I will keep that in the back of my mind. The point about the map is that it is also a bit of extra fun to hit those moving targets asap, when I have to train it for a longer period of time.

A single target wouldn't really be practical because once a building is attacking an enemy it will keep attacking until it's dead, or if the target dies after 1 hit then it would disappear and you wouldn't be able to target it with a different building. You could easily hot key the cannons as 14 25 36 and do it that way... 1a2a3a by then the cannon probably already fired so you do 4a5a6a... but either way you said the main issue was timing, not hitting the keyboard buttons, so this should be sufficient. | ||
