Phase state and transport of macroparticles forming fluid-like structures in a complex plasma is numerically studied for radial pair potentials of various types. Special attention is paid to non-Yukawa-type screening potentials. The parameters responsible for the phase state and microscopic dynamics of macroparticle motions are determined and investigated. Consequences for the particle condensation are discussed.
