How to Attack Expand and Build in a loop? I can't figure

I did end up with the 2 hatchery expansions. They actually work really well in getting expansions up faster. I'll post the code in my other thread pretty soon.

*The other option that Archon_Wing came up with was copy & pasting the hatchery + expansion script parts until there was like 5 of them and then just add a generic expansion loop. That would have worked well, too, but I think I'm hooked on this one for now.

Well, timing is everything, to me.

I didn't do something like that because I got worried that eventually the attack and expansion loops might get desync'd, leading to expansions trying to go up too long after or before an attack, decreasing the probability of the expansion actually happening. If you've noticed, if a drone gets sniped on the way to expanding, it doesn't follow up with any more of them...

My AI has enough trouble just building 1 Hive and staying alive. I'm not sure I'd ever be ready to use them in an expansion.

I've used it and it works pretty fine, but then I just don't care too much about the desync...
However, if you want them to expand when they attack, then you can insert wait_train commands, to keep the expansion close to the attack itself.
You however should make the wait on the expansion shorter so it will wait for the attack.
(get me??)
