Done by a moderator (I think) from all things protoss on reddit . Link to the video below + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8hYrEOGJVU Basically change unit management from left key to 'W' your default key for warp gate , hold shift + hot key of the unit (say zealot) and move mouse over the pylon field - I think this maybe similar to the infestor trick ? Looks pretty nifty. | ||

Like can it warp in 'too fast' or anything? Well I guess the limiting factor in this case is how much you move your mouse. It makes sense that it would set another unit to warp in as close as it can to the last one. So if you only make a small arc with your mouse, only a set number of units can fit to warp in that arc you made. If you make a larger arc, you might just use all your warpgates without meaning to. | ||

Can you also be set up to use the same trick to quickly cast feedback or graviton beam (or ghost snipe or infested terrans)? We only have one hotkey we can overlap with the unit management one, and it seems like if you use it on warp gate you will be blocked from using it anywhere else in the game. | ||

Currently my unit management hotkey overlaps with my "warp in zealot" key, so I can only use this trick on that one unit. I would love to be able to quickly warp in stalkers, sentries, etc as well.

You can add more hotkeys for same command via hotkeys file in your Documents ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZH3etlx.png) More about it here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=386958 | ||

I normally just hit W, then hold down the unit hotkey, s for stalkers, z for zealots, etc...then proceed to spam click as fast as I can or money will allow. I'm slow, sorry. | ||

options...hotkeys...unit management...choose ability or ai target. set it to whatever, let's say X. so i hit 4 (my warp Gates hotkey) Z (for zealot) hold X and wave the mouse around 4 S hold X and wave for stalkers etc. | ||

Hey I'm the one that made the video. The Unit Management key is normally default to the left mouse button. So putting this as an alternative as well makes it so that when you select the unit you want to warp in, you use the same button to both say you want to warp it in and where you want to warp it in at the same time. In my example it was "W". You're eliminating the mouse click with this method allowing you to spam out a huge amount of units in 1-2 seconds. It really saves a lot of time during late game engagements (which is really the only time this is used to great effect). @hearters: Is that not what I'm doing in the video? | ||

Oh oh I thought you were saying that what you said was a different way to do it. W simply selects all warp gates, so it's just more convenient to use that key to do the warp in as well so that way it's just W, shift + Z, and hold W to spam out a shitton of zealots. | ||

No offense but if you just figured that out now that's pretty weak. Im not even a tos player but I know that shift works with warpins and also with mules and many other stuff. It's noting new. it's the holding a key to spam units instead of clicking, rather than the use of shift, which is being proposed in this thread. anyhow, I've been doing more testing and research on doing this versus spamming clicks and this just saves on doing lots of clicking if you find that tiring or painful. speed wise there's no real difference until you have like more than fifteen warp gates and you're only warping in one type of unit. mechanically speaking, it's good practice to click the exact number of units you need at exactly where you want them. | ||

Exactly, it's mostly useful for mass warp ins of zealots in late game situations in the heat of battle. It can also be used for really fast stalker warp ins etc. for 2 base all ins. The cool thing about this tho is that you can still do the old precise method as well for the more important units like sentries and HT's or when you don't need a shitton of units. | ||
