I found a cool trick using the warp prism, and I made this little video. Hope you guys like it.





A possible build that incorporates this would be:



gateway

gas

core

chrono warpgate tech

pull units off gas @ 100 (150 total mined)

robo

make one warp prism

keep getting zealots only

rally warp prism to enemy's cliff

get nexus when pushing out

lift zealots into enemy's main

warp in zealots continuously

transition into 2 base (gas up)





This would probably work best against a zerg, especially if they have spine crawlers defending their natural. If roaches counter, you could make immortals. Cannons could also be a possibility after the attack, since you have a lot of mineral income, and it will take a while to gas up. I haven't tried this on the ladder yet, so I don't really know. The cool thing is, though, that until the warp prism pops, it looks exactly like a 3 gate robo.

You select all your units to go into it,



Waypoint the static warpprism somewhere,



As your units start going inside the warp prism, spam the unload key and you dont need to keep selecting / unselecting the units.

rS.Sinatra Profile Joined May 2010 Canada 785 Posts #8 i think at the end of this video.. if u unload.. and before the last unit is unloaded u spam units to enter the warp prism.. it will continue to drop.. so if you spam units toward the warp prism while its dropping, itll drop until you have no more units left or u miss a cycle www.rsgaming.com

The elevator/lift only goes one way.



Therefore I request name-change of this trick to the Warp Escalator.



Which I think is way cooler. "(Dudes are) not going to say "Buy this game — I cried at the end". (...) I suppose the secret is to find a game that makes you shoot eight million fuckin' dudes and then cry about how awesome it is to shoot eight million fuckin' dudes." - Tim Rogers

Yeah, that's how it works. You just have to keep spamming, and it becomes a continuous flow once you get good with it. The example at the end could be a lot faster, if I did it better.

You can (as the video in the OP shows). You just need to move the WP to the low ground first.

hmmm, i don't think it lets you do that. If your right click a warp prism, as soon as it fills up, the units try and run around. You can see this in the beginning of the video. hmmm, i don't think it lets you do that. If your right click a warp prism, as soon as it fills up, the units try and run around.

elkram Profile Blog Joined October 2010 United States 221 Posts #20 Wouldn't it better to use "stop" instead of "hold position?" That way if units come around and try and attack warp prism from low ground while you are loading/unloading the units on the low ground will fight right away instead of waiting for you to tell them not to hold position Tiger Tiger. burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye.
