That was awesome. I'm still amazed of the things the engine allows. I'm just a bit sad over the fact that the same engine limit some other things coming to micro.

I gotta try that, you could just scroll over their medivacs or infestors and get all of them super easy. Or even if you see a Terran army just hold feedback then scroll over an army with ghosts in it and be guaranteed to hit at least some of the ghosts, even if they're mixed in. Or even over the minimap since you can feedback from the minimap.


guess someone never played protoss and talks like he found out something.

this cheat is useless for any spell that protoss has, except may be creating hallucinations, where it isn't needed anyway.
I never tried it when I made the comment and never claimed to find out anything. I do play Protoss, and have mained for over a year after release. I was saying that if you could hypothetically do what I said it would make feedback good, but I never said it actually worked. No need to be a dick.

Can someone please explain how to do this without some sort of program?

Is it possible to do this with just sc2 itself rather than using some program?

Thanks

Simply put, the driver software that the manufacturer of your mouse can assign your scroll wheel to a "Macro" that you can assign to use the left or right mouse button when your scroll wheel sends input to your computer. It is not considered against TOS because it is not doing multiple actions on a single input.

Doing this method with mouse drivers and the programs that manufacturers make for them is no different than using something like X-Mouse for the same thing.

All programs that manipulate the input of hardware devices are considered "third party" and it does not matter what one you use as long as you are doing 1 action per 1 input.

This trick isn't any faster than shift-click done properly.

See above demo if you don't believe me, and watch through to 6 mins to see how this works even with feedback, transfuse and snipe.

The scroll click actually looks SLOWER.

This requires you to perform the action before you are there, the mousewheel lets you do it without having to move to a location. If you are playing terran, and are caught off guard when 8 ultras suddenly appear, you can select all of your ghosts and nearly instantly queue up snipes vs having to click on each and ever ultralisk 10 times.


That's assuming you have like 20+ ghosts in the first place, which is considerably more expensive than 8 ultras.

This technique is only really an issue when terran has mass ghosts, and quite frankly if you let them reach that point you are in so much trouble regardless. In the sorts of engagements that actually happen in real games it is not really any faster than simply spamming left click. Even with a decent number of ghosts selected I can click faster than they can fire.

And anyway if we are really talking late late game then with 20+ ghosts then terran has so many scans available that he always has warning and vision of any incoming army.

Okay, now I have a Razer Deathadder and it has drivers for things like this I believe, can you outline what exactly I'd need to do?

Like what keys within the driver would I have to reassign, and what keys in starcraft would I have to reassign?

This is sick, I'm wondering how one would apply it to things relating to macro-purposes aside from warp-ins.

First time logitech has disappointed me with their drivers. I can't actually rebind the scroll to anything other than..scrolling. So to make it work I'd need that program which would never be allowed at lans. I guess as Toss there isn't much I could have used it for anyways, but would have been fun to try it out.

Is there a general sentiment on if this is allowed?

You don't need to change anything in the SC2 client.
Here is a screen of what you need to change under the Razer drivers UI.

Very simple:

Wow that 20.000 apm screenshot is... extreme.

Anyway is this working as intended? If not, then Blizzard will fix it. (keep it mind that viking flower / archon toilet were considered not working as intended)

I'm sorry, but I do not understand completely. What do I change them to?
Would I simply change Scroll up or down to press the 'r' key? It seems like this would conflict with browsing the internet and doing other things. Is there a way to do it without having to switch profiles each time I play starcraft?

Thanks again

Change scroll keys to "click" (you will see the options in the drop down menu)
You simply hold down "r" and scroll/click the units you want to snipe....

it sucks but you must switch profiles every time you game vs browse the net if you use scrolling in your web browser.
If someone finds away around this please post....

This has nothing to do with blizzard, ive done this on many fps(for trolling/funzies)
Back in cod4, i would take the .50 cal, take Bandolier and slight of hand (extra ammo/fast reloading)
The only thing different, though, the ingame settings allowed anyone to do this even without mouse driver software.
Theres honestly nothing to stop this UNLESS they put a cap on how fast you could click, then, it could interfear with pros..
Honestly, alot of ppl in FPS games think of it as hacking, but ITS IN THE GAME SETTINGS ITSELF TO DO SO
See.

hmm, this is fascinating

i think blizzard can't fix it without changing the UI so you need to hit the key each time you do the command

you're only rebinding one mouse button to another so i don't see how blizzard can detect this

Or even over the minimap since you can feedback from the minimap.

This setting + unlocked scrollwheel gear on G9X = all infested terrans out in one tiny motion with your finger (On the G9 and other Logitechs you can unlock the scroll wheel with a button on the bottom so it spins freely and it actually spins for a really long time). It feels super unfair to do it.


Great idea, if you want to use 20 feedbacks on 1 medivac.


Doesn't it say that the target has no energy and simply does not perform the feedback if the unit no longer has energy?

11 ghosts with 150 energy can kill 6 ultralisks outright with just snipe (8 ultras if 200 energy). 2200/1100 vs 1800/1200

And if you can click 66 times in 4-5 seconds, I applaud you. For us humans, this mouse wheel trick works better for snap sniping instead of move command (dangerous in and of itself) -> queue and take 15+ seconds to queue snipes
