3 Gravity guns cannot "intercept" projectiles in the sense that you're thinking at least from an engine perspective. You could write a hack for this, but it would not be pretty. Essentially when a projectile is marked as intercepted in spring, it will be deleted. You do not want this for your funny impulse to projectiles gun. You would need to run the following calculations in one intercept loop: 3 Gravity guns cannot "intercept" projectiles in the sense that you're thinking at least from an engine perspective.

13 Complication: ZK grav guns are not beam lasers! 13 Complication: ZK grav guns are not beam lasers and there's no AllowProjectileInterception. There's allowing a unit to target a projectile during a perodic sweep, but nothing else. You'd need an engine FR for this to work, most likely.
