Zerg (potentially other races) rally point madness

Post a Reply 1 2 3 Next All

agorist United States115 Posts April 19 2010 07:09 GMT #1 I somehow manage to clear random hatchery waypoints ALL the time while I'm playing and this is absolutely infuriating when it costs you the game or makes them unnecessarily difficult. The only way I've been able to reproduce this is via right clicking the hatchery, and, I don't see myself right clicking my hatch at the frequency this occurs -- is there something else that could be doing this? Anyone else have this issue?

Motiva United States1774 Posts April 19 2010 07:10 GMT #2 I've had this problem a few games, I figured I just hot keyed my units over the keys

AcrossFiveJulys United States3612 Posts April 19 2010 07:11 GMT #3 I've had this happen a bunch of times too... I always thought I was just an idiot and messed up/misclicked, but maybe I can blame it on a bug.... ;D

Jyvblamo Canada13788 Posts April 19 2010 07:13 GMT #4 Happens to me on average once a game. Kind of annoying, but I'm chalking this up to control-mistake on my part.

meep United States1699 Posts April 19 2010 07:13 GMT #5 Happens to me as well, no idea what causes this. However, it only happens when I play Zerg.

Icx Belgium853 Posts April 19 2010 07:13 GMT #6 Same, I think every 1 in 5 games I manage to get my rally points messed up. Sometimes even drone rally points, like I would go to a hatchery and suddenly there are 5 drones doing nothing and the mineral rally point has just disappeared (and yes I had set it earlier) I always assumed that it was me screwing them up, but still haven't figured out yet why. (probably it has something to do with injecting larva to sloppy causing me to misclick stuff)

Mente United States288 Posts April 19 2010 07:30 GMT #8 Most likely just missed right clicks if I had to guess. This happens to me occasionally as well.

Ryuu314 United States12679 Posts April 19 2010 07:34 GMT #9 Yea...this has happened to me before when some of my hotkeys just disappear. I play protoss and it's really infuriating when the hotkey that contains all my nexuses and buildings just get erased. Every time that happens I have to spend a good 10 or so seconds rehotkeying everything. I've been chalking that up to control/hotkey mistakes on my part but if it actually is a bug then it should be fixed.

Artisan United States336 Posts April 19 2010 07:35 GMT #11 Maybe queens and hatches grouped together? and injecting larva then right click and extra time when it can not be cast?

Butigroove Seychelles2061 Posts April 19 2010 07:36 GMT #12 Between this and right clicking my hotkey groups by accident, ill lose whole games just to those two fucking me up.

HeyitsClay Canada336 Posts April 19 2010 07:40 GMT #13 I had 1 game out of my 150ish where my rally points and hotkeys WOULD NOT work and like drones were going to my military rally it was so annoying but only a 1 time thing

Zerum Sweden348 Posts April 19 2010 07:41 GMT #14 this happens almost once every game but I just assumed it was me pressing the "R" key instead of "5" and then left clicking my hat when nothing happens

BadassHamster United States16 Posts April 19 2010 07:41 GMT #15 Hey this happened to me more than I'm comfortable admitting until I figured out what was up... I was using BW patterns and so selecting a hatchery and sddd ctrl-4 or whatever, thinking that I was hotkeying the hatchery after making my drones, but now sddd actually ends with you just selecting the eggs, and so they get hotkeyed instead. Then later I'd hit 4s to grab larve and instead issue a stop command to my drones. I wish this was the stupidist thing I've done in the beta =)

MoNoNauT United States74 Posts April 19 2010 08:00 GMT #16 I think 'R' is the hotkey to set the rally point, so you're probably accidentally hitting R and then clicking the hatchery when you intend to spawn larva.

caution.slip United States775 Posts April 19 2010 08:41 GMT #17 rally point hotkey is y, i have no idea why since r was fine in BW. I've never experienced this bug, its mostly me just right clicking with the hatch selected also in SC2 you can select buildings with your units, so you may have had your hatch selected and then you shift added some units, and while you were ordering your units around it was also setting the rally of your hatch

Attica United States277 Posts April 19 2010 09:03 GMT #18 In over 400 games played this has never happened to me once. I mean I might mislick where to put it but I don't actually "reset" it. I'm assuming you guys don't hotkey your queens but your hatches instead and misclick when you try to select her and press R on your hatches. Start hotkeying those queens!

HeyheyLBJ Sweden160 Posts April 19 2010 09:47 GMT #19 Sometimes I accidentally merge two control groups with eachother (often queens/hatches + mutas, and then I have rally points in the middle of the opponent's base and queens walking everywhere). I have NO idea how I manage to do this, since pressing shift and then 1 doesn't select group 1 with whatever units you have selected. It's just impossible to merge two control groups but I still manage to do it. I've never yet managed to reset my rally points though.

JohnnySmash United States14 Posts April 19 2010 09:52 GMT #20 Probably already been said, but are you sure you re-set your rally points after you added a new hatch to the control group? Sometimes I don't and thus the new hatch doesn't have any rally points set.
