You never could do any of those things in starcraft, for buildings and upgrades and things you have to do them individually.

Yeah, you can't use waypoints for building buildings or building units :/

Multi select building was disabled in the 1.0 release because it proved way to too many bugs.

And building multiple buildings in succession was never possible. Not sure why but my guess is something in the way starcraft has workers process the orders.

You can shift-select certain actions...and I'm pretty sure you can only do it with terran easily, bcs probes just will turn and go do the shifted action...I know you can tell an SCV to build a building then shift-click minerals/gas before it starts building and it will go to the mins/gas after its done building. You "can" do it with toss but you basically have to wait till the probe is starting to build the building, which kinda removes the point of it.

Whats the point with Toss, they just warp the building in anyway so you can do one probe to mass built cannons or pylons or whatever it is your trying to build. Zerg also really no point as the drones turn into the buildings as for terran you can shift+select building assignment althrough thats a slow process and better to use multible SCV's anyway.
