Starcraft Remasterd | Tutorial 4: Hotkeys and Other Tricks

[@paveldahterov8296]

Oh my god!!! I play broodwar for 15 years, but only with friends or vs computer and have never got into the depths of the game... I didn't know any of these tips...How have I been playing this game!?!?!? That's the most usefull video of Broadwar I've ever seen. Thank you prof. Protoss!!!

I want to add another Shift feature. If you select a unit/s and do a Shift + it will merge the currently selected unit to that control group. Very useful if you wanted to quickly replenish your units to be involved on your control group no. I learned that back when Scan teached Artosis about that trick on one of his livestreams.

[@TheBulian1]

I've been playing SC for years, but never took it seriously because I always sucked. I love the game and always wanted to be good. Because of your tutorials, I beat the computer for the first time. Not only that, I was able to do a 1v2comp and win! Thanks a million for the info.

[@yaninacepqni2091]

So 4 years later what you? Do you still play and did you improve? 😊

[@justingagnier2871]

I'm in the same boat.played this game for yrs but never learned how to use hot keys to stay faster. Thanks for the video

[@thakrak]

Another trick not mentioned is SHIFT+CONTROL+CLICK, which is easier and more useful than SHIFT+CLICK when adding units to control groups. You have, say, 6 dragoons in CG1, and 6 other just casually lying nearby. All you have to do is select CG1, then press COTROL+SHIFT+CLICK on any dragoon, and instantly you will have added to your current selection of CG1 all other dragoons on screen, up to 12; you can thereafter proceed to Control Group them into 1 or whichever other group you like.

[@owendavis3500]

Wow 20 years and i didn’t know this one

[@thakrak]

@@owendavis3500 It works with files in the windows explorer, so many years ago I tried it in-game and found it worked as well...!

[@jkevinAH]

woah, trying to get back to SC and that patrol on shuttle trick was mind-blowing haha

[@interestingtimes182]

Very good tip on camera hot key. Been playing for years and didn't know!

[@seancole8307]

these videos are sooo good and still relevant for new players!!

[@tbone8358]

I hope you'll continue this tutorial series. Perhaps you could play through some games and sort of commentate along with it giving tips/tricks that you think of while playing. Or perhaps a let's play through the original campaign?

[@professorprotoss6552]

T Bone great idea I think I will do this thanks!

[@matthiasstaber9216]

Make one for zerg pllllleeeaaassseee :) Because of your vids I started beating the A.I. Wohooo, was about to give up

[@trlavalley9909]

This is very cool, TYVM for the time and effort that went into this series, it is much appreciated; by this god awful Terran. : )

[@fatemakeus]

21:42 actually you just need to shift + click the unit and shift + hotkey number. Example if you 1 is assign to zealots, select all other new zealot then shift 1, the the hotkey 1 has assign to all selected zealots...no need press 1, then shift + control click zealots then another control 1 ..

[@professorprotoss6552]

Hon Keong Lee thanks for the tip even I didn’t know

[@fatemakeus]

Professor Protoss another two techniques you should show are 1) alt + hotkey. Example you have set a control group units 1, and another control group units 2. Alt + 1 will switch to centre camera of control group 1 and alt + 2 will switch to camera of control group 2. Same as double tap 1 & 2. 2nd technique is to alt + click unit. If you have 12 marine in one select group 1. You press 1 right click will move 2 marine. In the middle if you want split 5 of them to move another way, you may just box select 5 marine and right click. If you want to select back the exact 5 marine, you just simply alt + click one of them. It will always give you the unit with last selected group.

[@LittleBoyOfHope]

18:58 so funny lolololol the way the dragoons got bullied

[@chuckebbs7541]

you are a really good teacher

[@Ryu-hy8bt]

Thank you this helped so much

[@hellowill]

In SC2 you can add units to control groups and remove them from other control groups at the same time. By default it's ALT + SHIFT (or ALT + CTRL), but I actually changed it so it's the behaviour for SHIFT and CTRL. Definitely miss this in SC1. Like I want to hotkey a shuttle separately but remove it from my army hotkey in one action...

[@JurisKankalis]

Just watched this video in 2020. Whoo hoo. Cool explanation and some tricks I didn't know. Is there a way to upgrade Terran Missile Turret weapons in SC 1 BW? When you click on the turret, it says Longbolt missile and shows ZERO.

[@superdrunkdnb]

Why did you stop making videos? Please continue - I still suck at the game ^^

[@joshuabuena8049]

Grab you goggles, put your lab coat on Here he comes, Professor Protoss.

[@hhjhj393]

I feel like this should've been episode one because I don't understand your previous videos because I don't know the controls of the game lol.

[@mrbulbasore1258]

I'm trying to assign camera hotkeys but something is always selected. How do I unselect stuff to be able to assign camera hotkeys instead of buildings?

[@socharis4760]

22:45 Macro your mouse's extra buttons to Alt and Ctrl.

[@pathofthewarlord6192]

nice

[@clubalbert]

17:00 I press control and right click my mouse at the same time, but my terran Dropship still goes for the suicide mission. Why isn't it working?

[@goodguycwyzz4768]

Egalitarian Ethos hey you have to patrol click not control click. Patrol hotkey is P and then you left click where you want it to patrol to. Once shot at it will fly away

[@professorprotoss6552]

GoodguyCwyzz what this guy said

[@clubalbert]

Got it, thanks.

[@benr4469]

?how do i move/evacuate a bunch of workers in a straight line

[@professorprotoss6552]

Bentzy R Select the workers click on a mineral patch away from them. The best way is to use a camera hotkey near minerals by using shift + f2 or f3 or f4

[@benr4469]

tnx

[@Penguinz-fr1mu]

My brother is spamming carriers (eg.10 of them). My cannons are not helpful. Should I spam Scouts or Corsair (or high templars or dragoons) to defend??

[@professorprotoss6552]

Penguinz 9000 there’s 2 ways to deal with carrier. Directly or indirectly. Directly I would use carriers as well or dragoon with high Templar. If you really want you can make 5 dark archon to mind control but it’s tough. Indirectly if you are scouting your brother correctly and see he is teaching to carrier you would have a big army advantage before he can mass them. Attack his below ramp expansions and use storm drops for his high ground expansions. He won’t be able to reach mass carrier

[@workingfamily5731]

You can build more canon the trick when it is a pvp is max minerals and canon. Your enemy will also run out of minerals for the reever

[@jacobfaro9571]

Don’t let him get to that point. Hit early. If same team, focus on ground defenses. Build Templar only if you can micro effectively.

[@brazzzzz]

Gateway explanation not super clear around minute 7.

[@John3.36]

Is the SHIFT second command a new feature of remastered?

[@jonnyo-bravo5512]

1k subs

[@AreThir]

Lol I did not know about shif command and I played on and of since y2k. I know I'm a donkey...

[@aviverde9031]

i wanna pizza

[@tylerjohnson4]

With a 16 oz coke

[@richmusick4881]

Lol you're not going to get away with playing at a high level only keeping your army on control groups 1 2 and 3. You're going to need to use more

[@Caleb-il7om]

Really hard to watch I was falling asleep waiting 5 min between tips 😅

[@timolson9722]

And also thank you for doing this. I love this game. It is the greatest game ever made some of my friends. Make fun of me like you’re still playing StarCraft. I’m like dude I don’t want anything new I mean sure I’d love to see a new StarCraft, but I want to see more. I would like to see some more, added to Red and use the same engine where I can get the expansions fan fan made let me know

[@timolson9722]

That’s not always true. I’ve had plenty of workers get stuck and not be able to mind like getting an SUV SUV stuck behind a supply depot in between another building.
