I am making my own little campaign map so I can understand triggers and stuff on my own, but I am having a problem with the computer AI. I got it to collect rescources but it will never build or attack me. Here's my trigger order if it helps to show my problem any.
Melee Game-Enforce Victory/Defeat
AI-Start campaign Ai for player 2(blue)
Trigger-Turn on(this trigger)
Melee-Time of day
Melee-Limit heros to 1 hero type
Melee-Give town scroll to all heros
Melee-Starting resources
Melee-Remove creeps from start location

I wish ai was easy to do like it was in starcraft

Well, you need to use AI editor. Create an AI in there, specify build orders and such, etc...

Well i never actually worked with AI editor myself, but i understand that the computer makes everything you tell him to continiously. Is this not so?

i guess it might,it has a build order but when i tried it i think the cpu did it only once,its the attack and building parts of the ai editor that are confusing me i think

Well, if nothing else works, you can trigger it.

Like, make a periodic trigger that makes computer train some unit every x seconds. And then, when a large enough unit group is assembled, make it pick a random hostile townhall-type building, and attack move to it.

That should be 3 triggers max.

i think this part is wrong, u need to specify a file name there, here's a list:
map.ai
human.ai
orc.ai
undead.ai
nightelf.ai
if u want easy ai, use "map.ai"
or if u want normal ai, use the one that corresponds the race of the comp.

By the way, I don't think you need the "Turn On (This Trigger)" trigger. That's for turning on triggers that are turned off. I wouldn't want you to think you had to add that to every trigger. They are all on by default.
