| − | ;CC slide:Allows you to slide a Command Center to unbuildable locations, e.g. right next to resources. You can produce SCVs while the CC is moving and also build right on top of it after performing this glitch. To perform, lift off the CC and order it to land on a valid location, then hold shift and press S followed by a right-click on the location you want it to slide to. The CC stops sliding if colliding with any solid material. Works pre-1.05.

| − | | + | |
| − | ;Produce units while lifting a building:Press L then immediately the hotkey for the unit/upgrade you want to produce. The building will begin production already while lifting off. If you float or slide the building after performing this glitch, units will still spawn where the building first lifted off. Works for any unit/upgrade, but annoyingly hard to pull off. Used together with the CC slide to get the first SCV out earlier. Works pre-1.06.

| − | | + | |
| − | ;Build anywhere:By trapping an SCV near a cliff, you can force it to build basically anywhere on the map. The only exceptions are unexplored areas as well as areas unreachable by land (unless you have had units in that area already). Once trapped, be sure there is a little breathing space for the SCV and then order it to move diagonally, then simply place the building on a valid location. The construction of the building will start immediately and the SCV will fly to the set location. Works pre-1.08.

| − | ;Invincible Drone:Simply mutate a Drone into a building while its HP is one, then cancel the mutation. The Drone will stay invincible until mutated into another building. Does not work with Extractors. Works pre-1.04.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ;Teleporting Drone:Similar to the Terran build anywhere glitch, except you have to follow the standard building rules for Zerg. Unlike the SCV, the Drone can be trapped anywhere and will instantly mutate into the selected building. Works pre-1.08.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ;Floating Drone #1:Order a Drone to mutate into an Extractor, then shift-right-click where you want the Drone to float. When the Drone is about to mutate, use up minerals so that you do not have the required 50 for the Extractor. The Drone will float over any obstacles until the destination is reached or it is given another order. Works pre-1.10.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ;Floating Drone #2:Order a Drone to mutate into an Extractor, then shift-click the geyser a few times and shift-right-click where you want the Drone to float. When the Drone is about to mutate, spam the stop command as fast as you can until you see the Drone's shadow disappear. The Drone will float over any obstacles until the destination is reached or it is given another order. Hard to perform, recommended to lower the game speed two steps when ordering the stop command. Works on any version other than 1.10.

| − | === Balance changes ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Balance changes were made in patch 1.02, 1.04, 1.05 and 1.08. Thus the game version makes a huge difference when attempting to speedrun a mission, especially for the Protoss campaign since it is not relying on any glitches.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === In-game timer ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [http://winner.cspsx.de/Starcraft Chaoslauncher] is a third-party program that comes with a plugin called APMAlert, which features an in-game timer. Unfortunately it is only compatible with version 1.16.1. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Unit orientations ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Units will take up to one second to respond to a movement order when idle depending on their orientation relative to the movement position. If facing the movement position, units will respond immediately. This is important in the beginning of some missions as the orientations of units are randomly chosen.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Manipulating spawns ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For Terran and Protoss, you can manipulate units to spawn at a location different to the default one. Simply block the spawn location with a unit or building and the produced units will spawn at the next free location counterclockwise to the spawn location.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Incorrect elapsed time ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Pre-1.03, a bug exists that incorrectly displays the elapsed time after finishing a mission. The time will be about two seconds slower on short missions (< 2 minutes), although the effect for longer missions is currently unknown.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === AI behavior ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The AI behavior was improved in patch 1.04. The changes are not completely known, although it has been noted that the enemy units have a larger awareness radius post-1.03 and will chase down attacking units from a greater distance.
