But, if you hold ALT and click on whatever unit type in the command window (below where it shows your hotkey tabs) it will just select all units currently selected of the type you clicked. But seriously, having medivacs in same group negates their healing on the move which is a big drawback in itself. | ||

Now you have the designated unit as the leader units. :D so let's say you have marauders and medi's on 4 you press 4, tab to the marauders and then ctrl + 4? can anyone verify this works? | ||

I'm 99% sure this doesn't work as I've tested it in the past and also 10 seconds ago. If you do the following: 1) Make a group of marauders and medivacs (e.g., on group 4) 2) Hit '4' to select the group 3) Hit 'tab' to select the marauder subgroup 4) Hit 'ctrl-4' to remake group 4 5) Select anything else (e.g., your cc) 6) Hit '4' to reselect the group The re-selected group will default to the medivac subgroup first. Different variations such as grouping marauders first then shift-4 adding the medivacs results in the same configuration with medivacs as the first subgroup. I'm not sure if this was behavior in the past that was fixed/broken, but as of right now, there's no way to change the subgroup priority in a selection. | ||

But right now, what I've tested in game supports my conclusion. And I've actually heard of this leader-change trick before on another forum recently (which is why I think it is either me doing something subtlety different or it is something that was recently fixed/broken). But when the original poster and I tried to reproduce the trick, we were not able to. (p.s., based on the experimentation people have done below, you might want to edit your post >_<.) | ||

A priority list would be handy! | ||

Thanks Fritti. I'm curious to know if the leader trick is something that people have actively done in the past or if its just information they're received second hand. There's evidence that this may be a bug since the group tab icons change based on the subgroup that is selected when you make the group. So the game is at least distinguishing the "selected" subgroup in one case. | ||

And then I split up my specialized troops into other groups (4, 5) And now I'm practicing to keep my marines split up across control group 7-0 to help me improve my marine split micro So, for example, were I in your situation I'd have it like this Army on 3 Marauders on 3+4 Medivacs on 3+5 Marines on 3 and spread across 7+8+9+0 That way I can easily "a-move" my army where I want to, but be able to split them apart when the battle comes. | ||

If we were to take it literally, he was asking if you can change how groups are spread out in your control group. The answer is two words--you can't. But what he really was asking is how to properly make more efficient either his hotkey setup or his unit control--more specifically his unit control. Judging by his example (being able to select marauder but not medivacs) he is attempting to incorporate army control through group splits while still sticking to his 1 control group setup. That takes more than just 1-2 sentences to actually explain since the real answer involved unit control outside of unit groups. Box selecting, ctrl selecting, etc... But apart from that; yes you are totally right. | ||

Tabbing unit you have the unit desired selected, re-defining the control group, then selecting it will NOT work. I currently have a control group of marines, marauders, hellions, medivacs, vikings, and tanks selected. I can NOT, in any way, alter the priority. Currently it goes Marines, Tanks, Vikings, Medivacs, Hellions, Marauders. It should be noted that the technique of redefining the control group (repressing Ctrl+1 in this case) WILL change the unit pictured next to the 1 control group on screen. But again, it makes absolutely NO difference to the unit order when I press 1. | ||
