run ground unit near, or over the hidden unit and use the tank to attack your own unit causing splash damage on you and the hidden unit. same concept works with reavers. | ||

unloading a dropship while moving is of course done by unloading all onto the moving dropship or magic boxes for multiple dropships. magic box use for chunjji storms as i suppose they're called or other things. upgrading air attack to fake upgrading goon range pvt to save a bit of extra gas on the cancellation after the scout leaves. emp+nuke kills nexus in one hit. why did i post here? | ||

Press stop when you want them to attack. What if the Terran lifts off the building and lands it next to your lurker? WHAT THEN HUH!? | ||

nah nothing will happen. In the Fog of war you still see a grey Rax. The grey rax won't go away untill ur units go to that location. | ||

The thing that this doesn't work for though is the fact that you can't press "A"ttack or "P"atrol when you have lurkers unburrowed in a group of other attack units. Which blizzard [i]needs/i] to patch because that really pisses me off when im caught offguard with a bazillion lings, hydras, and lurkers all ungrouped/mixed up with fresh rallied units or whatever. Same goes for vessels and medics for that matter. Seems like it would be a simple patch to me. | ||

I have seen pros do it. They unload the units in their dropships one at a time while moving at the same time.. For one dropship, this is done by clicking "unload all" on top of the dropship. But is there any simpler way to use this same technique but with more than one dropship? Without having to click "unload all" on every individual dropship? | ||

-Since shots from siege tanks are displaced under swarm. Targetting units behind the ones you want to kill, hits everything in front of it. -No archon but harassed by lurkers? Target units on top of burrowed spot with reavers. Pick up with shuttle before scarab arrive. Even better than Tank splashes  . | ||

But is there any simpler way to use this same technique but with more than one dropship? Without having to click "unload all" on every individual dropship? Theoretically clicking unload all, then clicking the exact center of all the dships while they're moving... would do it. However, once you get quite a large number, it's very difficult to find the exact center (unless you stack them all or something, but that's dangerous... >>;; So most pros just do the unload-click for each transport as fast as possible, which is pretty fast :x | ||
