EPTI just continued playing Starcraft 2 two days ago and as a zerg player I'm wondering how all the good player can switch so fast between their queens. I tried the tutorial from tl-wiki but it doesnt work. Everytime a hit spacebar it jumps to a different location. Some help would be nice! Thank you!
Is there a "tutorial" for backspace switching?

2. Press Shift (hold it down!), then press V (just click it) 3. Spam spacebar and left mouse buttom in the middle of the screen until you've cycled through all your hatches. 4. Repeat from Step 1 when the injects are complete Edit: On February 17 2012 01:52 Lorch wrote: Backspace =/= Spacebar. Spacebar just puts you to the last action happened. You need to rebind the hotkey called something like "switch base cam" to backspace (or wherever you want to). Well, obviously you need to do this first unless you havn't, kinda goes without saying. | ||

The trick is too have all queens on a hotkey press backspace with shift and cycle with while injecting all the hatches, the nearest queen will inject (this is smart casting) | ||

EDIT: The guy above me got in just a few seconds before I did T_T Are you sure it's smart casting? I've seen tons of situations where players have a ton of queens running all over the map and stuff. Either way it's best to have good creep spread and at least one queen at each hatchery. | ||

Snute uses this method and just injects all his hatches in like 1-2 seconds. I haven't seen his queens run around. | ||

I haven't seen his queens run around. Wait what ? How does he do it then ? To never have his queens running around that is ? Only thing i could find is to type S or Stop after every injection cycle so that it won't move far away from their hatch, but then there's also a chance that not a single hatch may be injected ? (happened to me countless time, switched back to my old method) | ||

Or skip the hatches you don't have a queen at (takes longer then obviously as you have to take a sec to check) | ||

I use the tilde (button to the left of your '1' key) instead of the spacebar because then you can still use your spacebar for going to the "location of last message" or whatever it is. Basically you can keep the regular spacebar functionality. And yes, the one thing to watch out for when doing this is that you have a queen with enough energy by the hatchery that you're clicking on. This is typically a problem when you expand and then forget about it, or if your queen was just killed, etc. If you do this it will send the closest queen to that hatch which isn't necessarily what you want. Remember, "closest" queen is a "as the crow flies" kind of close. It doesn't take pathing into account. So, for example, if you are on Shakuras Plateau and you build your third at the other spawn locations natural (aka, that place you almost always put your third as a Zerg) then it will send the queen from your natural. If you build your third at the expansion that is beside the xel'naga tower then the queen from your MAIN will technically be closer and it will move that one instead. It's good to know this since accidentally moving your queens can lead to major confusion - particularly when multitasking. | ||

select queens hold shift+v and spam capslock/left click queens do not move if they are not at a hatchery that has already been injected etc | ||
