Additionally, the Unit commands have the special action "queue." When an order action is received, if the game detects that the "queue" action is also currently being fired, it will not immediately execute the original order, but instead stick it on queue for that unit. When done with a "move" order this could be used to set waypoints, for instance. Again, this sort of logic would need to be implemented by the game itself.
