This happens when you raise/lower supply depots as well. For whatever reason, the pathing doesnt update properly. You can even keep left clicking your scv once the depot is lowered and it will keep thinking the path is blocked for a short time. | ||

That leads me to assume that the probe could have left your vision and came back in. That would have stopped the attack command. Please provide the replay. It's all guessing without. | ||

I didn't see it at all before the patch. I assume it's just a glitch, and an easily corrected one at that. | ||

Why not just right click? | ||

As for the "why not just right click?" Well it's kind of a micro habit I have, in the past when I right clicked on units sometimes, I would click the ground instead and my units would briefly stop firing and march to their deaths. With attack click even if you miss the unit with your mouse at least your units are still attacking. Edit: I can't seem to recreate this, got someone to run a worker up the ramp and I repeated the actions in the images provided, but this time the SCV "became aware" of the probe much sooner and immediately made a beeline for it. The LOS issue: nope, the probe was in sight of the Terran the whole time, the barracks provided enough vision and the player positioned it right next to the rax. The mineral walking issue: I watched from the Toss player view, and he did not mineral walk, he was clicking on the ground the entire time. | ||

Right-clicking messes everything if you misclick | ||

Seems like just unnecessary apm for something where a single click does the exact same thing. I've never had this happen to me in a game o.0 If you right click a unit and miss, you will either 1) waste more time clicking the right unit, or 2) not notice and your unit will move rather than attacking. If you a + click and miss the unit, whatever you selected will still attack | ||

If you a click directly on the probe as it is comming in the scv kinda wanders past it before starting to chase. I don't know why this happens, but what i've done is just a-click the ground near the probe until I see the scv pathing is correct and the scv is chasing the probe, then I a-click the probe. | ||

edit: i get this problem with terran the most. zerg and protoss maybe once or twice, but it's mostly scvs that decide to chill the fuck out at the worst times | ||

I've never had this happen to me in a game o.0 I think it's a good habit to always A-click to target one unit instead of right clicking. One right misclick and all your units are dead without doing nothing, if you A-click on the ground, at least it A-moves. So while in this case it pretty much doesn't change anything (there is even the possibility of misclicking and attacking your own building and SCV with an A-click :D), people are used to A-click because it's just better in most cases of target firing. | ||

Though, I do attack-click when I focus fire during battles. On February 24 2012 12:35 Silidons wrote: upload the replay and we can see where you clicked. This is also a good idea to clear up controversy. | ||

But i guess if you are afraid of missclicking a targetfire its good to always to the same. I just was worried, because people are right that right clicking might cause evil movement commands, so after checking a replay i noticed that i do target fire with attack move, just not the scouting worker. Funny ... maybe its because i am used to spam right click on the opponent worker as it speeds up the attack of the scv ... yes bw is fun. But that sounds really annoying. I would say though if its on blizzards list, its pretty much at the end as its just a minor pathfinding problem, that would need alot of code fixing. | ||
