"Pilliage Your Villiage" Map Triggers

Hey. So I had an idea for a new game type that I like to call "Pilliage Your Villiage". The basic idea is that there are 6 computer players playing a regular melee game against each other and up to 6 human players that each control a hero. The human players harass the computers as they try to fight each other and score kills. That's the very basic idea.

I'm trying to do a prototype map for this concept by modifying one of the regular melee 6-player maps that comes with the game. I can't figure out how to set up the regular melee AI for the first six computer players, while allowing the 6 human players to not lose instantly (since they don't have any buildings - just a hero).

So I'm pretty sure I need some kind of "AI - Run Script" call for each of the computer players, but I would like to keep the random start locations and random race ability that the regular melee AI triggers allow.

Any ideas on how to do this? Can I give each of the computer players 5 workers and a heap of gold and lumber, call the right melee AI script, and have things magically work? Ideally I'd like to make my own AI scripts using the World Editor.

How about:

Pick all players in players matching condition (matching player is controlled by computer) and Do:

• if/then/else - race of (picked player) equal to human Then - AI - Run AI script humanwhaetver.ai
• if/then/else - race of (picked player) equal to night elf Then - AI - Run AI script night_elfwhaetver.ai
• if/then/else - race of (picked player) equal to undead Then - AI - Run AI script undeadwhaetver.ai
• if/then/else - race of (picked player) equal to orc Then - AI - Run AI script orcwhaetver.ai

Sry I don't know the exact name of the script or even if they are in the drop-down menu.. otherwise you have to extract them from the MPQ and import to your map.. :d good luck.. oh maybe just type the path they hve in the MPQ is smarter.. :D

what bout giving players an invulnerable building where they can build their hero?

Basically, elapsed time = 1, or less, create the building at a polar offset from their main building.

if human:
.. add town hall to Variable1
create hero building at position of Variable1 offset by XXX towards YYY degrees

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you just delete the "Melee Game - Enforce victory/defeat conditions (for all players)", and then create a second trigger that goes something along the lines of:

EVENTS
A building is destroyed
CONDITIONS
Owner of destroyed building is a computer player
Number of buildings owned by owner of destroyed building is 0
ACTIONS
Defeat owner of destroyed building

Just a hunch, but that should work.

they need to build a hero somewhere, so make it a building and make it invul, set it to equilant castle/nightelftree/etc if you want more heroes, just give it 15 food and ability to revive heroes, heal and maybe sell stuff..

As MadFunk said, just do that and have your own victory/defeat condition triggers
