can't hotkey fast enough

Post by iNcog »

Sometimes when I play, i'd like to do


my "find rax" hotkey is "a" and my "make musk" hotkey is "z"

a-z-z-z-z to make 4 musketeers out of a rax. this works perfectly

but when I do

a-z-a-z

to start a batch of musk in each rax, the second rax doesn't get selected when I hit the second "a"

I need to do

a-z- wait - a-z

and if i don't wait then it just queues 2 musks in the first rax

-_-

is there no work around?

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

Ui options/ "Threshold used on snap to units"

You need to lower the value I guess.

I think you have me on skype, message me and we can do screenshare show me what your problem is. I have spent a lot of time thinking through stuff like this. The answer might be that you should take up a different approach to making units.

I use this with tc (hzhzhz) and do not have problems, though I do notice when I do that it seems to not always setup evenly. My guess is that there is some delay with this method since I can test that I can type ''hz'' very very fast with perfect accuracy.

the threshold fix which is in options, which fatalimperium-sama gave me, worked out perfectly (tested it in game)

you probably have that setting on lowest (to the left completely), which is why it works out perfectly



this also makes it easier to play ports lol

[div style="text-align:justify'"]I selected long. And as soon as I change it to short, I get the same problem as iNcog mentioned. I think I have the australian version since everything seems reversed :sad:
