Additionally, how do I have a medivac follow a group of units? Possible? I always pick up a unit instead of having it follow so I really don't know. Adding in any other races with normal 'follow' stuff would be helpful, I play Terran mostly so that's kind of my key. Ravens following other air, or whatever... any tips I can get would be great. Thanks! | ||

I'm pretty sure there is a 'follow' command in the case of the medivacs. | ||

2. Right click on unit you want it to follow 3. ??? 4. Profit! No, there is no way to have a unit follow a "group" of units or have a medivac follow a unit without it picking it up once it reaches it. | ||

Edit: WRONG, just tested it (almost KOing my battery in the process) and this doesn't work with rally points OR with right clicking OR with the move command. It only follows the last one in the queue. | ||

Does it? I don't know. Pretty sure a medivac stops when it heals things. | ||

 So if I have 3 thors, and 1 dies, I want the SCVs to have been following "all" the thors, not just 1 Similarly the same for medivacs and such. I don't recall if there's a "follow" command. | ||

in the case of medivacs i would simply group the together with your bio-force to be honest :o | ||

You can have medivacs follow units that they can't pick up, i.e. air units. Use the simple questions/answers thread in the future. | ||

The same thing applies for rally points. If I rally muta eggs on a muta in my attack group, and that muta dies, those mutas will stop in place as soon as it dies. | ||

If there's a follow-command. Try Shift + Follow command maybe? | ||

I don't recall if there's a "follow" command. You cannot have them follow the group, but you can for example have auto-repair on, so if one thor dies, they will lose their current order and go to the nearest damaged thor if it is in range and go repair it. for medivacs just use the A or M commands instead of right clicking, and they will then follow the unit you click, though again that is following that one unit, if that unit dies, and the group moves away, the medivac will sit there doing nothing. Also following units will be at a small delay, lagging behind the army, what you want to do instead is have the units on a separate hotkey and move them yourself when you need to. | ||

I don't think queuing patrols work at all, though I may be wrong. I'd think it would go "ok, when I'm done this endless back and forth path, I will go on to that other endless back and forth path" but if as you said, you patrol them to the unit, does the first patrol command end entirely, or does it instead get relegated to patrol to where the unit was last alive? I'd definitely be interested in testing this now... | ||

I'd definitely be interested in testing this now... Not sure if this was my touchpad accuracy but from what I just tried it doesn't seem possible to use the patrol command and then click on units. Clicks just went right through them to the ground beneath. Though the loading screen helpfully told me that SHIFT+COMMAND+F makes a unit follow another unit (that may be why you can't shift-queue it up!). | ||

Unless following works differently for SCVs following thors than it does for SCVs following other SCVs (just tested it in quick start custom game vs. AI) it doesn't, unfortunately. It will just move to the first thor, then the second, then the third, and then follow the last one you shift clicked. I had the same misconception though; was this possible in BW or something? Why is this belief so widespread? | ||

He wants to follow a GROUP of units, not a single unit. (hint for the slow people: if you follow a single unit that moves in a group, if he dies, the follower will have nothing to follow.) | ||

And yer shift queue doesn't work(it just repairs first unit, 2nd, 3rd etc until at last unit it will additionally follow it). So nopes doesn't seem like you can follow a group(had hopes up for patrol ). | ||
