oK so about your map. Because it is an ALTERED MELEE MAP you need to use the AI Maker of World Editor. I can code AI and MOST OF MY MAPS ARE WITH AI...but as i say in your game it is hard to make an AI for an Altered Melee Map...you must really use the AI Editor..there are some tutorials on this you can read them so you will know...the only thing that i can code an AI are maps that uses Single Heroes like AoS and Hero Arena or RPG..

I've been reading a few tutorials, actually, and managed to get the computer to build a base, but that's all it's doing. It's not attacking or expanding, it just follows the list of priorities I set for it and when its done it just sits there :|
Any ideas as to how I can make them start attacking?

Do they have a hero? The default forces require a hero to start an attack.

They do, but the hero isn't trained - you pick him from the get-go (triggered, you click on a custom spell and it spawns the hero of your choice with Create 1 [Hero] at Temp_Point, etc ). Could that be the problem? My map uses only 1 Hero per race.

It's probably a problem. It will only work that way if you have "First hero" defined as the same unit that your picked hero - 1 AI per hero

Ok.....THE SOLUTION FOR YOUR PROBLEM IS THIS...
Go to Spells Section of this site
Find AI System.... i forgot the name of it but it is vJASS....it has all the required moves for an ai....but remember IT HAS NO AI FOR BUILD...

Unfortunately I don't quite understand JASS. Does this code just... understand which unit are which or do I have to specify a list of units somewhere? Do I swap BUILD_UNIT for unit codes or??? Sorry but I don't understand any of that
Also lumber in my map is converted from gold, and you have only 1 hero to pick per match, so this would add a whole new layer of complexity I would think.
I do appreciate you taking the time though.
Oh thanks, I'll check it out.
By the way, anyone know how to use AMAI? I'm not quite sure if it's compatible anymore but I couldn't even get it to work. Perl 5.8.9 isnt even available anymore unless you buy it, not that I would know what to do with it. This whole tool feels like esoteric computer magic to me so anyone who has a working AMAI and has some free time, care to help?

oh btw,that code should be CnP in the notepad,then save it as a .j file.
Then import it unto your map

I'll give it a try, but will it actually work with how my resource collection does? I mean, lumber isn't harvested, it's converted from gold. Like I said, I don't understand this but I'll try and import it.
Will it just fire up on it's own once imported or do I have to make the map run it or...?
Sorry if these questions come off as dumb but I really have no idea what I'm supposed to do here, besides what you told me ofc.

The main configuration of this should be the raw codes of your unit.
You have to run it via AI - Run (AI Script)

You mean in the trigger editor? Because it's not showing up there.
oh and which parts do I need to change for the raw codes? (is where is says unit_id?)
For example:
do I replace hallID with the raw code of a, eg, demon town hall and mineID for its corresponding 'haunted' gold mine?
