Melee AI and Custom AI: Is it the same?

Hello Forum,

I have created a map in which 7 AI players are controlled by custom AI. They fight as a team against the human player. When I start the map in melee mode or with “Use map settings”, the AI should behave the same way, right? I have read several times that the Melee AI is the Custom Level AI (Run AI Script At Location(“Protoss Custom Level”, “P2ProtossBlue”);).
But when I play this map, I get a lot more attacks in Melee mode than in UMS mode. The only small difference is the shared map in UMS, which I added via a trigger, but that shouldn't have such a big impact, right?
What is the name of the AI script in Melee mode?

Map:

Thanks

Peter

AI Custom Level scripts in the unmodded game will always behave differently in UMS because for all scripts ran in UMS, a campaign aiscript flag is set that changes the way some AI stuff works. So you have the right script, but it will behave differently - for the non-BW scripts, some attacks won't even start because they're using an attack type that does nothing with the campaign flag set.
