Wow holy shit thanks Mzeg and evanthebouncy!, I always thought this couldn't be done, you have enlightened me!

It looks like the only limit to the number of locations you can patrol is the number of commands you can shift+queue.

It never ceases to amaze how you can still discover new things about such an old game.

OP, definitely add this to Liquipedia, and great work!

Idk, i tried it and it seemed to work fine, maybe you guys are doing it wrong?
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

awesome mzerg. i've been looking for something like this for a while. finally no more linear patrolling. perfect for expo hunting with observers. have it patrol between 3 or 4 expos with only 1 observer.
I don't have mono anymore. Woooo!

You can actually make it patrol in a 3 pointed L shape. Not necessary to make a path with only convex angles.

I tried patrolling 4 different locations and worked to make the ling move in a square, I see no reason why you couldn't add even more locations up to the unit queue limit.

Seems like a cool trick to do with one observer to scout for 3 expos at the same time.

Good to know there's another use for the waypoint function
The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity but, why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

the computers definitely like patrolling their overlords on paths around their bases, and I suppose it could be useful for mid-map observers/scourge?

More on this please. I bet you can shift-queue up to the limit (like 10 or so?). You could have a single unit (*cough*DTFTW*cough*) patrol every single expo on the map.

Hahaha, oh wow, just tested in SP, I had an observer going around the hole map, 9 jumps (if I counted correctly), over and over again.

This is coooooooooooooooooool.

Kind of a big jump the shift key to the p. Does the right shift key work for this? I know my right control key wont work for assigning control groups..

Right shift works 100%, that's what makes it so easy to do actually.
