Hi everyone!

I'm pretty new to teamliquid, and I've read the general rules of posting, so I hope that this post fits all the criteria of posting, -if not, feel free to remove it but please don't ban me haha.

Anyways, I looked through the threads, but couldn't find anything relative to this.

This thread is simply to help players refer to small technical things that SC has included that players might forget/don't know, and rather then going onto SC and testing it, they want to simply refer to a thread to confirm what they think a certain unit did in a certain situation.

If this sounds confusing, feel free to look at my first post in this thread - a question I have pertaining to how protoss hotkeys work.

Enjoy!

If you have a templar in a hotkey (say hotkey 4), then you load it into a warp prism, that you SHIFT HOTKEY (add to hotkey 4), then when you unload the templar, will it still be in hotkey #4? (this is very important for when your using templar drops in a PvT engagement to avoid emps) Also, when selecting hotkey #4 consisting of warp prisms/templar/stalker/sentry/colossus/immortal, will it default to having the templar abilities first? Thanks for the help!

I feel that protoss help me thread is more for strats and counters and what not, as opposed to technical details.

Yep, casters always have priority over other units in a control-group. Same deal with sentries

Edit: this sometimes messes me up when I have both caster-types in one controlgroup because they both have F as a spell-hotkey. 1-controlgroup-syndrome ftw!

Yes the hotkey will be in hotkey #4 as soon as it is unloaded unlike in bw where units disappeared from the hotkey if they were loaded into a dropship and u then used that hotkey for something else.

Please read the strategy forum guidelines.

You should refer to the Simple Questions Thread, the Race Specific Help Me Threads, or the 1000 Tips Thread for stuff like this.
