Hey, I'm fixing up this cat and mouse map by adding a boss that launches scarabs in random directions, but for some reason the scarabs just go to the top left of the map. In the version I'm uploading, you can see that the scarabs work for about 10 seconds, then start ignoring the comsat stations and probe. The owners of the scarabs are computers and I'm using JYD.

Check the triggers and make sure the actions follow this pattern:
-Move scarabs from reavers to the point from which they 'shoot' (call it location X)
-Run JYD AI at location X. Make sure that location X is no more than 2x2 tiles. 1x1 is preferred.

None.
The triggers follow that pattern. I amended my location sizes to match your suggestion. I tried both 1x1 and 2x2 and neither made a difference. Though, I'm still noticing one thing. For about 5 seconds, the scarabs do what they're supposed to. Then they ignore commands and go to the top left of the map. I should also mention that the map is not using hyper triggers, if that plays a role.
None.

Still going.. strong is debatable though.[04:13 pm]
WeirdoX4857 -- I can't believe this is really been around since 2003 but it does look classic and old asf still better than talking to kids on discord ranting about skibidi toilet and sexuality or whatever mental illness is going on in their heads[04:11 pm]
WeirdoX4857 -- Nigga how you ask is it still going strong when you get a text every 3 miles per hour or something[2026-9-27. : 3:11 pm]
NudeRaider -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.[2026-9-27. : 3:09 pm]

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
