Make computer AI upgrade at specific time.
How do i make a melee computer AI upgrade "Zerg melee weapons" at the 10 minute mark as an example.
An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death
Assuming the AI player is player 2:
That gives the upgrade at 10 minutes automatically if the player does not already have it.
That suggests for the AI to upgrade melee attack level 1 if it has not done so already. Or, more accurately, it picks an Evolution Chamber at random and tells it that it should upgrade Melee Attacks 1 if it can.

But my game gives the host the option to add computer AI players, so it can be any of the 8 players. Would this work still?
None.

I need an example, please.

Alright, so I'm not sure how you're performing the option for the host, but in that trigger you should add all the AI players being added to a player group (global variable), like so:
Then, let's say you're going with the first trigger that automatically gives the upgrade after 10 minutes. Change the actions to iterate over each player in the player group:
That should go through each player in the group and give them the upgrade.
Edit: I guess I should have asked this earlier: by "add" do you mean before the game begins you fill computer slots, or you choose how many players in-game? I assumed the latter.
Edit2: If you're doing it via lobby, use this as the first trigger to populate the player group:

Mr.BurnLiquid -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: Another map maker? Damn we really ARE back
I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.[01:51 am]
Mr.BurnLiquid -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads 
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.[01:34 am]
