I haven't seen it in any pro-games, so I doubt it.

TBH, I don't even think you'd notice it if they did.

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.
oh shit the implications hahahah

Here's a rep where I have a couple observers floating around many expansions on a single patrol route, the one on the left side of python scouts all 7 bases on the bottom/left side of the map. I also send a few vultures on somewhat circular routes through the center.
I want to say this is extremely easy to perform and is actually useful in melee modes as a single observer or overlord is now not limited to straight back and forth paths and can be sent to cover much more ground. This improves scouting for sure.

I thought this was really neat and told my brother (UMS only player) and he said he's known about it for ages.

No but he's 10 years old so has a slightly different idea of "ages" :D

- Air units patrolling (against possible drops/recalls etc) especially in island maps. - 1 observer patrolling 3 or more expo sites. - Making your idle SCVs running around your mined out CC to mind fuck your opponent lol.
Holy shit, I'm going to teach this to every 2v2 partner I get from now on, and if we're winning, we'll just make our miners circle around the map while we hardcore micro vultures/mutas/bunkers/things that can't even move.

Tell him to show us a replay of him doing it thats dated before the date of this thread.

Because if he was, he'd obviously already been doing this for years.

In fact... I did it by chance ; I sent some scourges ( attack ) , then told them to patrol afterwards ( I must have clicked several times ) : I saw the "multi patrol" but I didn't know how I had done that, and I didn't really care ; afterwards I wanted to know how it worked and I found it a few days later ^^ ( I knew I had used only "simple" commands )

Nice...thank god for your wasteful clicks lol.

this is definetly useful in real game to scout for enemy expos. Nice finding. Why did it have to take you 11 years since release to find out about this, though?

this is obvious stuff guys -_- when i play battleships on war3 i fucking pick trader and just patrol my way to mass gold then i feed my teamates and we win, or i just pick crusader and suicide their ass
