How do I make the computer fight?

I'm a complete newb to map making and forums. And I emphasize NEWB. Anyways, I searched a couple of forums and can't find the answer to my question (probably cause it's too simple). I made a basic map that contains 6 start locations (2 humans, 4 comps). I've got a minor trigger stating that if player a kills 50 units, create hero. Anyways, all the computer does is mine and get gas. I even created barracks and such for the computers but they don't create units. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, one of the computers will act normally and do what it must to try to kill me but this happens about one every 5 or 6 games. I've only used the basic starcraft editor. I haven't used any modding tools yet (figured i should get this working before i continue). I've created a trigger that would make the computers insane in skill but still nothing. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I'm completely stumped. Thanks in advance
 
The trigger is setup for the whole map (I made a location which took the whole map and called the location all map). The trigger has the always condition and two actions. One that makes the opponent insane and one that is preserve trigger. I created one separate trigger like this for each computer opponent (total of 4). Do you think i might of forgotten to add something in the trigger? like another condition? or is it that the computer just hates this map and doesn't want to do anything other than harvest with the droids I already gave it?
 
EZ

you have to use an AI script depending on how hard you want the comp to be. Example: Terran campain easy or zerg campain medium or protoss campain difficult. each race has easy medium and difficult

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
