Don't click on the ground for unload, click on the dropship itself.

be gosu and click at the "center of graviation" of the dropships and you can have even 12 dropships drop simultaniously while moving. Of course, you have to get them in a nice formation, first, or it'll be extremely difficult. If that's too hard, unloading at every seperate dropship one at a time works.

if you yell at them loudly enough through the mic, they'll listen to you.




but of course, you could just click all dropships, drop them somewhere, then as theyre moving, select each one individually and unload on itself.

The way pro's do it is you tell them to unload at a point in the enemy base that is past where you actually want to unload. Then, as they fly to that point, you individually click on each dropship, hit u and click on the dropship. The dropship will drop units as it moves, and for any dropships that you didn't have time to unload during that, they will unload when they reach the destination anyway. Takes practice.

A lazy way is center of gravity, but I think you should practice individual clicks.

it's a similar thing to magic boxes if you're familiar with that.

It's basically the same principle as the "magic boxes" where you storm areas by arranging your templars and then cliking in the middle of the area you want to storm. But I haven't seen it work with dropships, and most progamers just unload-click. Fewer chances of fuck-ups.
Im not a n00b, I just play like one.

it has to do with prearranging your dropships in a certain formation before you move out and then when you near your target you just have all of them selected and click unload on the ground once and they will unload while moving.

however this is extremely dangerous to do in something like a tense TvT because there is always the chance that you won't do it properly and your dropships end up just dying to goliath fire because they didn't unload.

Search with google. This is old news.

If you click unload on the center of a moving drop ship it will unload while moving.

If you click unload on the imaginary center of several drop ships it will unload while moving.


The X are drop ship. Click unload around where O is.

also you can just press u while any unit is flying and it will unload (incase its still somewhat far a way of its destination)
that's how I do it, as Zerg that means you'll have to press u on every lord tho, works fine for me but well what SexyMedic said is more helpful for masses of ships/lords.

I don't see it as the lazy way, I think it's pretty much the ultimate way. It just is too damn difficult to get right.



And the center of gravity is different from magic box because the magic box doesn't have the gravity thing. Like, in magic box thing, you can do:

X X X
--O
--X

X are positions of templar / storms, O is where you click and they'll storm there. No gravity, just the middle of everything... With dropships/center of gravity, you have to do it like:

X X X
--O


--X

You click there, the center of gravity. It's REALLY difficult to get right unless they're in a very specific, accurate formation, like

X X
X X

Where you just click at the very middle.
