Ever get tired of telling your units to attack an SCV constructing a building and then the SCV moves and your unit forgets?

Introducing: The multiple shift-click attack super-combo move!

How it is done: It's simple! Just take your unit and shift click the SCV repeatedly, so that when the SCV moves while constructing the structure, your melee unit will follow it instead of stopping!

Why it is important:
For bunker rush situations, you don't have to stop and tell your Drone/Zergling to keep attacking the SCV when he moves around the bunker, just spam a few shift-clicks on him and they'll keep chasing it!

You'll know if you did it right if the game draws a red attack line from your unit to the SCV, so you can leave your unit alone and go back to your micro and macro!

I thought everybody did this already.

Well, in this case, thanks for making our wall-building a living hell!

Herp di derp, seems so fucking obvious. Reminds me of a quote :
" Magic Thighs - 'How did we not think of that Groomfondle?'
Groomfondle - 'I think our brains are too well trained Magic Thighs'"
-Douglas Adams, Life, The Universe, and Everything

Thanks!
Got that.

If you attack move near the building to catch the SCV, or if you attack command the SCV, and it moves through the building the attack command gets broken by the AI. That's why this technique is useful because you don't have to constantly watch your harass probe while you drop your gate/forge/whatever.
Got that.

I love these random tips topics that spring up on TL. I usually get more use out of these posts than most strategy posts.
