Sorry I have no idea what you mean. I can deal with bad spelling but when that is mixed with alien grammar and comments about druggies I can not help you.

Tell us a little about your map - how many people players, how many computer players what you are really aiming for - without reference to druggies. Around here when referring to teams we say "Red player" "Blue player" or "Red Team" "Blue Team". We also speak of forces.

If you have preset forces (which is what alliances are) then the Ally button is gray in even a hosted map.

If you have gone through Scenario/Player/Force Properties then you have hard wired the game to follow that until such time as a trigger changes that.

Melee Maps are non-assigned forces that can, through the Alliance Button form alliances. Downside is that the player start locations are not fixed.

If you want to break alliances easily then use the following trigger:

• BreakAllaince
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Make (Owner of (Attacking unit)) treat (Owner of (Attacked unit)) as an Enemy
    • Player - Make (Owner of (Attacked unit)) treat (Owner of (Attacking unit)) as an Enemy

All it takes is attacking one of the units of an allied team and both of you are enemies unto death or unless you have a trigger to 'undo' that.
