What the hell is floating the drone???????
please answer

 

[TaZeR]

Floating a drone is a bug in StarCraft which can only be performed by Zerg. It's making a drone fly anywhere on the map without getting ventral sacs on overlords.

Heh. You can only get Drones with Zerg. Don't worry about learing it though, the new patch for StarCraft and Brood War will fix it.

U can float a drone if u mind control a drone U can also float DTs and HTs.

 

[Zero]

Yeah, but how do you do it?, just to know, and impress my friends that don't know how to (lol)

 

[Renzokuken]

I dont know. But i do know that High Templars hover anyway. They do not walk.

If you really have to know, go to the Use Map Settings section of StarCraft / Brood War games on Battle.net and look for ones that say 'Float a Drone' or 'Float a Templar'. Some don't tell you how, but then some give you instructions.

When is the 1.10 patch coming out?

 

[Original Raccoon]

I have no idea. Should be soon though. I wonder if they will make any unit statistic changes? HEHEHEH

anyway, i have tested it and it's useless, 'cause you lose time and it's better to use overlords w/ventral sacs.
and it's also cheating, so, play fair

well a floating drone is when a drone goes thru a game glitch which can be used by a player as a "technique". well anyway basically if u want to float a drone it does this like on lost temple u start off at ur starting spot u do the "technique" and tell the drone to go where u want such as the corner island expansion and wuush there it goes to the island its pretty much cheating but its a easy expansion

Just when the game starts:
-send 3 drones mining
-select 4th drone
-order to build extractor (gas)
-then while he's going, hold shift and press right mouse button where you want him to go (on the mini map easier)
-just before drone starts building, buy a drone so that there wouldn't be enough minerals
-relax, and watch him flyin =]

oh, forgot to mention that this is the best way for scouting, too bad its cheating so i dont use it...
