Other crap I didn't know: ALT+# Selects and moves the screen to the assigned unit group. CTRL+C Centers the screen on the currently selected unit ALT+C Centers the screen on the currently selected unit | ||

Vague sidenote: anyone know how to change whose hotkeys you use in a replay? I've never been able to figure it out  | ||

as far as the hotkeys thing I think it only works for the player that was in slot 1. | ||

Unit score is extremely useful since it tells you how much resources each player got in their armies. Unit score = sum of minerals + gas cost of all units. | ||

To be fair, the game has been out 11 years and replays have been out for 8 years. And since Blizzard never released documentation of these commands in patch notes, it's not even certain that the commands have existed for 8 years. I've never known a dedicated gamer to spend his time experimenting with line commands while watching replays (or while doing anything). That's for the dedicated tinkerers who have more productively spent their time designing tools that fill in the vast gaps left by Blizzard. Indeed, Observer Mode exceeded Blizzard's attempt at improving the observer's experience infinitely more than these replay commands. | ||

If that is the formula, then what do you mean by all units? All units produced or all units currently alive? All produced isn't very usefl. Even if it's currently alive, the inclusion of peons in the equation will make it inconvenient. Battles that occur without every unit being involved won't result in useful numbers and the production of new units while battles occur will also need to be taken into consideration. So in the end, it seems more convenient to simply remain aware of the units that went into a battle and came out by looking at them rather than attempting to find useful information in the change of that score. | ||

If you are in slot 1, you get the player in slot 1's hotkeyss. If you are in slot 2, you get the player in Slot 2's hotkeys... And so on. | ||

So in the end, it seems more convenient to simply remain aware of the units that went into a battle and came out by looking at them rather than attempting to find useful information in the change of that score. It most likely is the same unit score that you can see at the end of a game / that you can access with triggers in UMS maps. That means that it should display the resources spent for units up until now, including all lost units. From watching a replay it looks like it is just like that. There actually is a "units and buildings" score available in the map editor too, as well as a "kills and razings" count. Basically the 2 scores / counts added up. So it might be possible that there actually are 2 more commands, but they certainly are not the commands I tried ("units and buildings", "unitsandbuildings"). Now what you can use those scores for is the difference in resources harvested. You'd have to add up units and buildings score (if the command really doesn't exist), as well as the current resources if you want to be precise. It's nothing really important, but could be interesting in a few scenarios. The kills counters might be nice if you are trying to keep track of the kills during harrassment (so you don't have to count the marines yourself, or maybe when there are multiple drops at once). | ||
