Pick Race - Not Revealing Townhall

[Zpider]

You see - I am not very experienced with triggers and my map (Marshland of Mystery @ Map Development) is my very first real attempt at trying to become better. However, I need help with this.

Why I need this trigger to be done

When it comes to triggering I am limited. I can do minor changes and most of the times I manage to make the spells (from the resource section - man you guys rule) to work. In order for my map to become playable a lot still remains and I am working on it.
Hopefully you guys will enjoy the outcome once I am done.

I am rather close to a public beta version of the map however, before that becomes a reality a very important trigger remains.
Some might know, some might not know. This project started as a result of the "Race Building Contest #3"
I have always wanted to make a "Alternate Melee" map (and a Hero Arena - don't hate me!) ever since I played some shitty yet interesting map with Draeneis, Fel orcs, Gnolls and Corrupted Night Elves back in 2004.

During the Race Building Contest #3 there were a lot of talk about how to solve the annoying "You will be revealed to your opponents unless you build a Town Hall". Michael Peppers have a solution, however I would very much want it to be in GUI - since that's what I am trying to learn and it's easy for me work with.

This is the trigger I use at the moment.
I need a trigger like this - but with multiple choices (I currently have 3 custom races) and I need it to not reveal your entire base to your opponents. Think anyone could give it a try?

I hope someone has a solution to this or else I am pretty much screwed and we wouldn't want that to happen.

Rep will have to wait however ("You must spread around some reputation before giving..." is what I get at the moment)
