lately i play in custom games Xelnaga cavern, and whenever i take my 3rd and 4th expo, i mark all the scvs mining there and right click for auto repair. But it seems like not working. i lost a few games thinking SCVs will repair my planetery fortress automatically, but not even a single SCV started to repair them after it is being attacked.

Am i doing something wrong? I know i should have used normal repair, but i was focusing on my own attacks. Do i have to click all my scvs to the building before i start auto repair or something?

Auto repair isn't that automatic. They will only auto repair if they don't have anything else to do.

I think the scv have to be idle to start autorepairing and not mining

replay would be nice.
Also make sure the SCVs are not auto repairing each other instead.

Yeah, they have to be idle.

Imagine if scvs would automatically pause anything they were doing to auto-repair any building or mech unit that was close to dying. Now THAT would be broken.

They have be idle to use the ability auto-repair. Select them all, press S, and they will repair everything in sight. That didn't take long. Now go micro!

They can't be building.
They can't be move commanding.

They can be idle.
They can be attack moving.
They can be on patrol.
They can be on hold position.

Basically in warcraft 3/starcraft 2 autocast abilities are allowed to "interrupt" the attack move, patrol, stop, and hold position orders (except for hold position they can't move to perform the cast) and will resume the original order once they're done casting it (repairing in this case, be it via healing the unit or via running out of money). Any other orders won't be overridden.

"Do i have to click all my scvs to the building before i start auto repair or something?"

Is this difficult? Terrans already have the ability to repair buildings and mech, and you've been given the ability to AUTO repair those things without focusing on it, but it's tough to select your scvs and press two hotkeys? I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for you, whether or not you've lost a couple games because of it.

Simple solution: "Ahh my PF is getting attacked." *Select SCVs* *Press S* *Auto-repair* "Yay my PF is still alive."
