AI custom race question

[Bloodbane7]

I'm making sort of a custom melee map, where there are multiple races facing off in a melee type game. I would like to make an AI for this game but I was wondering. . .

Do I have to create a custom AI script for every race that isn't default in the AI editor and have like 8 AI scripts on the map? Or can I have 1 AI script for 8 different races?

I think you need only one, and have comparisons of what the race of your unit is. I believe you will have races tha represent the default ones. Here is something to get you started: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=87999

The short sentence:
No, you have to make one AI for every race.

Well I have one yes, and one no. . . But making one AI for every race makes more sense because I don't know how I would do it for multiple.

You can script an AI system which handles the common elements between the races. However in the end there will have to be unique code for each race (how else will it know what to build?).
