Can you set the command point and patrolling location for separate players?
Lets say you want a location for each player (4 players). Then you want an interceptor to fly to that location. You set the command point and then the patrol to upper right hand corner default so the interceptor goes there. Lets say 4 players do it at the same time and at different locations; will all the interceptors go to the same patrol point or will they go to the players patrolling location?

If the triggers are owned by the respective players i would imagine so.
Try it!!

Only one trigger ever runs at a time. So even though in effect it seems instantaneous, each player will run the trigger one after another, so the location is actually in different places every time the order is given.
The only exception is that if a trigger has a blocking action (wait, transmission, or in single player, center view), then every other trigger will run one at a time during that blocking action, but not during any other action for that trigger.
That said, it may be possible that resetting the generic command point will cause anything that is currently patrolling to the generic command point to change course to the new command point.
Addendum: I tested it; what I suggested will not happen. You can make different units patrol to different places simultaneously with the "make these units patrol" script. Changing the command point does not make any currently-patrolling unit change course.

use hyper triggers. then all will fire so close together you wont be able to notice.
