Starcraft 2 – How to Control SCV Movement During Construction

starcraft-2starcraft-terran

Is it possible to determine where a SCV will move next while building or on which side of the building it will finish?

Here is my scenario:

Enemy is going 6pool and his lings will arrive before my 2nd Supply goes up. Can I somehow control the SCV so he does not get attacked while building or finish outside of my wall?

Best Answer

No, you won't be able to control the path specifically.

However, there is some micro that you can use to get a small benefit out of it. You could select the SCV and stop construction (make sure you're not cancelling the building) before the SCV travels to the outside part of the building and then restart construction inside the wall, you'd have to do that a lot to ensure that your SCV stays inside the base.
