Can Spider-mines be Recalled?

[Shadow Archon]

If you control spider mines and an Arbiter, can you recall them to your position for slaughtering those enemies unfortunate to be under the Arbiter?

I saw this from one of the Senior member's sig.

[sandwich_bird]

Nah you can't. That'd be ridiculous.

[Hammy]

I wouldn't be surprised if you could recall them as long as they were above ground (which means they were already targetting an enemy unit...).
It definitely doesn't work if they're just idle and burrowed.

[spychi]

If those are unburrowed than yes you can, but you have like a second to do that.

[Norfindel]

Nope. They aren't units, and only units can be Recalled.

So why in some UMS maps spider mines get recalled?

Trigger? Quite easy to do with the correct tools.

Yes you can recall mines w/o triggers.
Basically, u stack the mines in 1 place. then let an enemy go to the mines, but not on it. the mines will trigger but not move, giving u the opportunity to recall.
Never used in melee but fun as hell.

d00d that is some sick shit

I thought your sig was some unfortunate Protoss player recalling his goons right onto a field of your mines. But now I see that doesn't make sense since the units that get recalled are always in a tight formation, and the mines are the only ones that are in such a formation.

Shouldn't you be able to recall them while burrowed? You can recall burrowed Zerg units after all.
