How to make a RANDOM hero selection [Not Taverns] and How to Make Items Drop on Neutrals?

Well you should explain a bit more about your random system you want use.
But in many cases you store all heroes into a variable and use the random int check:

function x takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer i = GetRandomInt(1,100)
    
    if i == 1 then
        // first champ
    elseif i == 2 then
        // second champ
    elseif i == 3 then
        // third chamo
    elseif
    // and so on
endfunction

[I don't know the GUI way anymore]

Well and item drops on neutral units when they die or when? You can use item tables for it.

"random hero selection" ?
what is that you cant select a random hero because its random

to make neutrals drop items select a neutral in the editor and press enter then go to item table

Won't work for units that are created via triggers or respawn.

The common GUI method is to use a bunch of if/then/else checks when a unit dies, but itempools are easy to learn and a lot less time consuming to use.

add something like this on init

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set random_heroes[1] = Paladin
    • Set random_heroes[2] = Archmage
    • Set random_heroes[3] = Mountain King
    • Set random_heroes[4] = Blood Mage
    • Set numberOfHeroes = 4
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to random <gen> the event (Player - (Player((Integer A))) types a chat message containing -random as An exact match)

and this to get the hero

• random
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering player) Current gold) Greater than or equal to 500
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 random_heroes[(Random integer number between 1 and numberOfHeroes)] for (Triggering player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
• Player - Add -500 to (Triggering player) Current gold
  • Else - Actions
