its UNBELIEVABLE how slow you must be to fail at this. I have NEVER failed doing this.

It has nothing to do with being slow. It has nothing to to with failing or not failing.
It has something to do with how a shift command works. If you press shift-S to try to get your sentries to stop firing and cast forcefields, THEY WILL NOT STOP ATTACKING since the shift command makes them do it AFTER THEY FINISH ATTACKING
Not´to sound too offensive, but please do not pretend to be able to do things that the game mechanics do not allow unless you have solid proof that it somehow magically works

Very nice tip, I haven't tried that before while being in Master. I guess it's everyone their own, but if it decreasing FF casting time, it's always very important.
OgsMC usually practices his FF before matches, he told in an interview. It's one of the things which makes him so sharp and strong.

Sometimes when I try to feedback really fast this happens too, I end up selecting a medivac, I am pumped to try this out : )

Cheers.

Pressing and hold the F key (or E for EMP etc) is more efficient and precise than just f click f click, in fact you can actually get out about twice as many FF or EMP in the same about of time just by holding.
|
I think its up to the player's preference. I am more used to f click f click. Im using z click z click even for warping ins. I'm not too sure what MC is using. Any1?

1. select sentries
2. move command your sentries slightly - long enough to allow you to queue your desired forcefields
3. hold shift + F click
= sentries move then stop and drop forcefields instantly
sometimes it's not worth it though, because being able to see the effect of each forcefield is beneficial for placing the subsequent FF's.

so I'm guessing with EMP I can just hold E and click click click ?

As i sayd in the VERY FIRST sentence of my post, yes, this also applies to EMP and snipe

wouldn't this make lings or marines queue faster? you could select your barracks and hold down the marine key to queue them up slightly faster.

It would but you dont want to queue marines and with lings its quick enough that the game wont really know the difference but I can see the application for Zerg players

This made me realize what I was doing wrong. Thanks!
|
thank you SO much for this
for some reason my computer was set to 2/4 and after swapping it to 4/4 i can finally hold down F instead of F-click F-click
|
thx, good find.
i lost some games with fungal growth the same way like you describe it here with FF
|
This defiantly makes holding down the keys more useful.
I never hold down the keys tho :S habit

Erm not to sure about this. I f-click f-click out of habit purely as holding it with this decreased delay will obviously be pressing f FASTER but how can you say its more precise?
I also feel like the time it takes to press f is about the time it takes to move my mouse over 6 squares and i feel more accurate because i find it a little easier to keep track of them and press for each one. Don't want too much overlap u know.
errbody should know shift clicking doesn't work when the sentries are engaged.

good point, although it has been out for a while. shift clicks are usefull but they can easly be overused in which case it could be a bad thing.

If you read the post that I quoted you would notice how it was worded clearly implied that he has been using "hold F click click click". Not changing windows settings to reduce the delay after an initial key press.
Thanks for trying though.
