Set Rally Point + Patrol

[defskull]

You see, I want to do some patrolling over 4 places
Its path is shaped like box:
_ _ _ _
| |
| |
|_ _ _ |

That's the shape of my movement
Now, at every corner/edge of the box, I want to order my unit to patrol by using Triggers
I've noticed if you press Shift + Patrol Action + Click on ground, it can patrol to many places at once, at an infinite time
So, what trigger should I put in order to do exactly as "Shift + Patrol + Click Ground = Infinite Patrol to many places at once" ?
NOTE: PLEASE QUOTE MY STATEMENT TO SEE THE BOX IN CORRECT SHAPE !!!

Sadly, I don't think it is possible to activate the multi-point-patrol thing via triggers. However, it is certainly possible to do your square thing.

Just run a timer. Issue the point, and then wait until the unit gets to that point. Then, start the timer again, and issue to the next point. I don't think there is another way around it.

I remember getting orders to que if you issue an order in a trigger responding to an order. As the trigger runs before the order is issued but after the command to issue an order has been issued, the unit gets placed into an order quing state and thus will que up all orders issued immediatly at that time.

I encountered this 4 years ago (LONG ago) thus what I am describing may not or nolonger be the case.

Well, it's for Cinematics, I doesn't have issues with MUI or MPI
I can run Timer or using Waits

I slapped something together. I spesifically didn't want to use regions.

Select a unit the hit ESC to make it patrol.

The patrol pattern is square, but it's easy to modify it to be a rectangle.
