RF works for LotV, just not Smart Command RF. If you replace the command smart command was acting as (such as move or gather) with a hotkey also bound to Choose Target.

Is RF Inject effectively broken in LoTV? I haven't played legacy, but since I've recently started switching and trying new inject methods in HoTS, going from camera location to layered camera injects and now exploring RF injects I wonder if I'm not expending a lot of time trying to master this inject method only to be forced to switch back to camera injects (not even layered) when LoTV comes out. Any clue?

actually.... the rapid fire inject... just got buffed beyond all belief. Now you just hold it until all the energy for the injecting queens are gone. No wandering queens!

EDIT: damn, never mind, the first test was a fluke. that was so close to being unreasonably awesome. RF inject works just about the same as it used to, maybe a little bit better

That'd be awesome hahahaha, thanks for the answer. Which keys do you recommend? I'm using Fleet Keys (latest version) and space is bound to smart ability, so I settled down for space (here being spawn larvae instead of base camera)+c(custom), but I'm wondering if I'm just getting started or setting myself for failure on pressing them at the same time, since they're plenty of times I'm just doing base camera and nothing is actually injected. Luckily, I do notice

For all users that are wondering or frustrated about the state of RF on OSX, who most likely haven't seen my reddit answer, and surely not my blog :D, I just made a post explaining how to get RF on OSX: https://adrianperez.org/workaround-for-simultaneous-key-presses-in-osx/.
Hope that helps someone out there. GL&HF.

I can't seem to get it to work

Alfred,

you can still do it, but you have to bind the move command to a rapid fire key instead of using smart command.

This is wonderful, I no longer need to contort my hands across my keyboard every 30 seconds for a half an hour.
But I was wondering if there would be any practical application for the burrow skill: Binding both select and burrow to a spare, but handy, key so I could pop my roaches underground by mousing over them instead of vainly trying to click on them. Or would that create more problems than it fixes?

greencatco,
interesting idea. I haven't messed with selection as a key at all before. You should try it and let us know how it works out!

Dear Jacky (or someone else that knows whats up)

I am trying to set up rapid fire as described in your videos, with binding a spell to the same button as select. However, when I enter the hotkey in one place, it will unbind at the other place. (I cannot seem to bind multiple spells/actions to the same key)

Am i retarded or is this a known problem with or without a solution? It is important to note that I am playing on a mac so that might ofcourse be the cause. In that case is there a way to rapid fire on a mac that anyone is aware of?

Thanks in advance!

Remember you're not binding it to select, you're binding it to "Choose Ability or AI Target" (aka TargetChoose). These are different things. Secondly make sure you are adding an alternate for TargetChoose and not trying to change the primary bind.

I'm having trouble figuring out how that's the case. Whenever I try to use it queens wander everywhere.

Just wanted to post a thanks for this guide and its associated videos, adapted this into my hotkey setup and its very effective for snipes and mules as terran.

Excited to continue finding new tricks like this to improve my game.

You cannot do it from the game itsself, you have to edit the file with a text editor
