I have a computer player on an island with a starport and a barracks. I want the computer AI to build dropships and units and raid the human player. How should i go about doing this? Should i set AI Harass on a specific areas?

I don't want to do the enter transport and exit transport scripts because i want it to be a bit more random. I have a mineral patch with a bunch of scvs mining for the computer in his base.

A terran melee AI script should help. Like "Expansion Terran Campaign Insane." And maybe a "value this area higher" at the location you want them to attack.

Acutally the effects of melee AIs are not very well known. Just try a few and check which gives you the best results.

Also you could trigger a dropship AI on your own. Use switches or death counters to generate random values for delay inbetween drops and varying drop exits.
You could also use conditions like [human player(s)] brings at most 0 units and at most 1 turret to 'drop loc 1' => do drop at 'drop loc 1'.

That probably would produce unexpected results. The computer's SCVs might start expanding and might prove problematic. Your best bet would be to probably make your own "AI" through detection of units and random switches. That would require you to use "Enter Transport" and "Exit Transport", also. I know you didn't want to use those scripts, but, this is probably the better, easier, and most precise idea.

None.

I will try to create some "artificial artifical intelligence" lol. I'll upload the map when i get around to it.

Edit: But the fact that it's hard to make it create a marine i'm going to have to make it spawn it randomly.

ihjel -- "Use Display Text Message or the in-game Leaderboard to output the live values of critical Death Counters." that would be so convenient wouldn't it.

Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope.
