Anybody out there make missions for StarCraft? I'm trying to do some and...I made one have most of my triggers, locations, etc. in place but:
There are three players. One human controlled, two AIs. The AIs are enemies but they both go right through each other's bases to attack me and they don't fight with each other. How do I get them to fight each other too?
P.S. Yes I'm making a multiplayer for this mission too if anybody wants it.

ahh yes, the good old days of starcraft. It helps if you have version 1.09 (actually v1.04 from bw is sufficient)
- For Player 3
- Always
- SET ALLIANCE STATUS
{Set Player 2 to Enemy}
- For Player 2
- Always
- SET ALLIANCE STATUS
{Set Player 3 to Enemy}

I think its in the Teams settings, you can have a max of four teams I think (unless you change them with triggers). Just put them all in different teams..
Its been years since I've touched StarEdit...

AI Still fights 'neutral' to each other (they dont attack each other but they dont help each other out). If that worked there would be so many more maps with AI working against each other. Starcraft mappers aren't as... evolved as you might think though, most of them dont even explore all the triggers. Its a shame

Mmmm, SC. I should play that again sometime.
Anyone know anything about SC 2? :)

Hopefully we'll see that once Blizzard get this WarCraft 3 and Worlds of WarCraft bull**** out of the way...

In trigger editor make a trigger for 2nd player. Than set Always or something like that. Click next and than set. Set alliance status, and than set there 3rd player. Do this in the opposite too. :)

The think that always cheesed me off about SC was that when you did a skirmish, the AI ONLY went for you.
Stupid.

I agree. However, I think the rest of the games is pure ****, also. I mean, come on, wow, amnazing plotline; Zerg=bad, Zerg attack Us, we make mistake and attack Protoss, now Protoss=bad, too. And in almost every cutscene the Protoss perform some sort of sacrifice, or they die, whether it be their beam sword isn't working, they have to blow themselves up, or they have to forgo a chance to blow Jessica Simpson(;7), it's just plane stupid. And on top of that, the game includes bland, boring graphics that were going out-of-date the time it was released, and a non-inventive game model.
Bleh. I hat that game, HW is much, much better. Even Star Trek: Armada 1 is better!

Yeah, in melee game types..
Set it to free for all and they'll fight with each other..

Much as I have a distaste for SC, I think I need to rectify a few points here:
1. Actually, the Terrans were hardly sympathetic characters. It's telling when the main hero of the Terran missions has only the one eyebrow, but they were kinda... neutral, between the cheesy evil and the cheesy good, which made the Terran missions actually interesting for a time. I will, however, agree on the Protoss. Cliches in the Stone Age, and they ain't getting better.
2. Eh? The graphics were actually quite good for the time. Compared to the other stuff out at the time, the units moved smoothly and freely, the background blended nicely with the action, and the effects were purty enough to keep it interesting. Gimmicky and outdated now, but they're still quite well put together, for graphics that have passed their time. And the cutscenes were fantastic. If you really noticed that everything looked plasticky, or that the Protoss special effects resembled something that could have appeared in Tron, you still had to give it that they had fantastic dialogue, ship detailing, and subplot.
3. Graphics and plot do not a game make. Some of the best strats had neither- Master of Orion, anyone?
