Creating Interceptors via Triggers
I am working on a defense map that requires triggers to create interceptors with adjusted HP/SP percentages and send them along a path.
How do I get the triggers to create the interceptors, and if it is any different, how do I order them to do things?

I order you to forgive yourself!

Ordering interceptors
First, you can't directly create an interceptor with a trigger. You need a carrier. When you have the carrier(s), place a target so they will attack, make a trigger to move the interceptors where the carriers are, to the location you want. If you want me to explain everything, I'd be happy to, but I need your answer. Anyway here's an article about it: http://www.staredit.net/wiki/Ordering_and_Using_Interceptors/Scarabs
As I said, if you need my personal help I would make a test map too if you want.

Thank you very much, Lethoth. You've been of great help!
None.
I'm glad I can help, so will you need a test map or anything else?
None.
I like to mess with triggers myself, find out how they work for myself and such.
I just know I've seen maps using them in that manner and I couldn't get it working right.
From what I knew and what I got from 5 seconds of reading that wiki, it's working
Thank you again!

Oh_Man -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating[2026-9-23. : 12:24 pm]
Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities[2026-9-23. : 10:09 am]
NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
