Ok I know how to make computers make a town but how do I make them for example choose a race to be at the beginning of the game or cast an ability on a certain nuetral passive unit?

well I could probably answer both, but I can only answer the second one off the top of my head

you would have to store all the neutral passive units in a unit array variable. Like this:

event:
map initialisation

actions:
set NeutralUnits[0] = <some unit>
set NeutralUnits[1] = <some other unit>
...
..
...

where "NeutralUnits" is your unit array variable.


Then you do something like:

event:
<whatever>

actions:
unit - order <some unit> to cast <possession> on NeutralUnits[Random number between 0 and *however many neutral units you have*]

here, "Random number" is simply a maths function which is available in the drop down list when you click on the blue thing between the [ ] for the variable.

e.g.

unit - order <some unit> to cast <possession> on NeutralUnits[*click here and look for random number function*]


hopefully that's clear....
