It is only possible on the newer mice. I have to use X-Mouse on my MX518. But if you have a mouse that can do it from the newest drivers just find the binding for the wheel down command and rebind it to a macro that does a single "left click" command. | ||

However when your ghost numbers start getting high, like above 8, it gets increasingly difficult to dump the snipe energy as fast as possible using R spamming without this technique, as there are more ghosts now and the cooldowns are more available. It is stupidly easy to dump ghost energy with this technique. With 12+ ghosts (which usually are only present in 200 vs 200 TvZ battles), its imperative that you dump ghost energy ASAP so you have move on to other micro, or you are limited in time because the zerg wave of bane ultra fungal is about to hit your ghost pack hard. I'm curious if MLG will ban this specifically. If they do it will set a good precendent for future tournaments, because IMO it's not good for the game overall. Late game snipe spamming should blossom in the hands of a high APM player, not to the masses. | ||

With only 4 ghosts, it's relatively easy to spam R fast enough so that you are still limited by the small internal cooldown on the snipe ability on small squad of ghosts.

 You can use the following script: + Show Spoiler + ~r & WheelDown::Click ~r & WheelUp::Click where r can be replaced by t/e/s/whatever hotkey your spells are set to. | ||

If the unit doesn't have energy left it won't be cast. However I think I AM going to just rock this hard with psi storms. Mutas might be considerably less of a problem with this. | ||

You can bring a mouse that stores profiles on it (MANY mice do this) and it would work 100% fine at the driver level with no installing of a program on your computer. I confirmed this myself with a Xai and a G9. On February 07 2012 12:36 MurDeRsc2 wrote: If you can't bind this within starcraft 2 there's no reason why this would be legal in competition. I can't imagine an MLG would allow 3rd party programs to help you bind keys. Posts like this are correct in the rules about 3rd party programs but fail to understand that you do not need to do that to use this ability. | ||

Really cool trick, i wonder if this will lead to more ghost heavy compositions in TvP and swing the favor in to terran. | ||
