I couldn't figure this out for about 1 game but then I did select it then
hit A then just select what you want to attack

you build the rift creator in line of sight with what you want to destroy.
then when it is built and charged up (when you hold the mouse over it you
will see the second line for the power up meter) you click on the rift
creator then on the building you want to destroy. yes, it does have to be a
building you can't click on the terrain. and then whammo, their building is
sucked into oblivion. Enjoy.

Note that this is not all true. You build the Rifter wherever you want,
but when you got visual recon of a place you see fit to dispatch the rift,
you can press *A* to make the attack cursor appear, and you can attack
absolutly anywhere, wheiter there is a building, a unit or nothing.

It took me a long time to figure out (stupid me!), but all you have to
do is click on a FULLY reacharged rift creator and then click on an
enemy unit/building and there will be a temporal distortion.

Um actually if I recall correctly you can nuke random terrain, you have to
force fire on that spot. I think, don't take this as Chapter and verse until
you have tried it out.
Also you can put the Rift Generator as a hotkey unit, e.g. set it as unit
0, and another as unit 9, and another as unit 8 and then can do all three
without having to go back to your base to click on the generators. (good if
you want to kill everything in a small area and only have 1 spotter)

You don't have to hit A, you get the attack cursor automatically, you
just need to see the target.

If I am not mistaken, and i don't think i am, the rift will sjhow the
attack cursor only over building or perhaps ennemy units. Now if you can't
see a building but you can see just a little ahead of it, you need to press
a to get the attack cursor.
