Hey, I'm trying to get a ring of interceptors to execute JYD from a target point, thus creating an expanding ring. It works, however, some of the interceptors return to the carriers almost immediately. I need the interceptors to just go straight right after the jyd script. Can anyone help?

Junkyard dog is making units constantly change heading to another point on the map. That's just how it works. If you don't like that behavior you'll have to try another ai. However in case of interceptors there's not much choice. Afaik only move to general command point and random/strategic suicide mission.

In this map, Particle Arena, interceptor behavior is very weird, and I want to use its concepts (the interceptors follow dropships like the move command, and explode in an expanding ring perfectly). I've tried to dissect the map but it uses many death counters and I can't find the actual triggering for the interceptor behavior..
None.
What's probably happening is that the interceptors went close to units in which it is unallied to and can attack, which then the attack AI will overrun the Junkyard dog AI, so the interceptor'll try to attack.
But since the interceptor's away from the carrier, it goes back to the carrier.

Let me try this and I'll report the results..

Run AI Script: JYD at location Anywhere. Also, the more interceptors you have, the more circular it will be. In particle arena, they add interceptors one by one. I think the max that you can move to a location at the same time is 25, so you could move 25, wait a little, move another 25.

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]

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.
