I'm attempting to create an addition to my game (I'm re-creating the far-overdone Troy concept), and actually it's kinda the most important one - the trojan horse. I'm still trying to find a decent in-game model for it (perhaps pack horse scaled to like 5 at color 30/30/30), but more importantly, I need to create a trigger system to support it.

Essentially, since people aren't retarded, no one would fall for a Trojan Horse in its most basic form, so it's going to need to be somewhat random. So, the system would... i guess... create a Trojan Horse at a region, allow it to be fillled with units, and then move it instantly to a starting location, and made invulnerable, however, with only a 1/5 chance of the units being in there. The other 4/5 chance would be of it containing like 6000 gold, which the Trojans will need since their gold income will be starved in comparison to the Greeks for specifically this purpose. Then the Horse would be ordered to move into the city. The Trojans then are displayed a message informing them that they can either accept (-accept) or reject (-reject) the Trojan Horse. If reject, then remove horse from game. If accept, then allow to proceed into city, when reaches target point, either create gold coins around the horse, or unload like 50 units, depending on how the chance came out. This would repeat about once every 15 min.

Help appreciated. :)

Here, I'll try to be clearer.

When a 15 minute timer expires, I need a unit named Trojan Horse to appear in a specified region (HorseRegion), and have players 7 through 12 be able to load units into it. Since I know you can't load more than one player's units into the same transport, this is one of the tricky parts. I need it to, when a player tells a unit to load into the Horse, when it reaches the Horse, remove that unit from the game, set a variable to remember what type of unit it was, and create a unit for neutral in the Horse (planning on having the Horse belong to neutral, if necessary you can make it belong to player 7). When the Horse is full, run the 1/5 chance thing, and give it an 80% chance of removing all units from inside the horse and set a variable (HorseContents) to 2. If 20% comes true, leave units in the horse, set (HorseContents) to 1, and move it to (HorseGoesHere). As soon as horse begins to advance, display message to players 1-6 informing them that they may either accept (-accept) or reject (-reject) the trojan horse. If -accept, do nothing. If -reject, remove Horse from the game. If they accept and horse reaches (HorseGoesHere), check the integer of (HorseContents). If = 1, then create units equal to what was told to load into the horse at (HorseUnloadsHere), if = 2, then give 1000 gold to players 1-6. Then restart the 15 minute timer.
