Lua request

I was wondering if there was a way to queue unit orders to units that are still in factory queue, so that say when you decide to do a jeffy rush or something you can issue those move orders and in the meantime order a couple of kbots to build base.

Since there is already a listing of queued units on the right side of the screen, in version 5.91 I think, I thought it was odd that you can't click on those icons to reduce/add quantities inside compound queues, besides this.

But mainly being able to click on one of the units on the queued list right side, then queue them up with build/attack orders, so that when they actually come out of their factory they have something to do, and you don't have to babysit 100% of the time idle units.

I've thought that this would be very useful in the past and still believe so.

I have next to nothing to do the entire month of February, so I'm going to take another shot at learning Lua and the Lua-Spring interface. This would be one of the first things I'd try to make.

edit. I'd want it fully expandable and applicable to any depth of queued units - so, for example, you could add a con bot to a factory queue, queue up an order for the bot to build another factory, queue up that factory to build scouts, and queue move orders for those scouts.

Seems like natural progression to me

I really want this feature as well. I made a lua for it, and its not working yet, but when i get it working i may post it, if you give me 50k euros.
