Could you please upload the map you are making here so we can have a look at the triggers? That way it would be easier to help you.:)

And welcome to the forums:D

Make sure the location is something like 6x4 of size (doesn't really matter I guess) and on top of a Hatchery, Nexus or Command Center. Make sure the the computer is a Zerg player for "campaign zerg insane" and the location is on top of their hatchery. The reason why they just sit there or only gather is because a wrong Ai script is set for them, race wise, ex, a Zerg player can't use the Terran script because Zerg can't build a Command Center. Make sure the computer player has enemies, that will help run the script.

Make sure the trigger is put under the specific player.
EX.

PLAYERS:
Player 4 (Don't put this under for 'All Players' or a certain force.)
CONIDTION:
Always...
ACTION:
Run Ai script...

That's a pretty basic and obvious explanation, not much I can say without knowing what you done.

Problem, the Zerg supply is too high, since you put too many Zerglings, the Zerg player is doing something and the AI is working, but since its supply is too high, the first thing it'll do is take a long time making appropriate amount of Overlords to cover its supply, until then I won't many drones or advance itself. Just put like 20 Overlords for the Zerg at the start to fix the problem.

Woah there psycow...use fewer run-on sentences...and maybe a period or two. It's hard to understand what your problem is.

I got rid of the zerglings i only had them on the map to test another trigger soo now i have 4 overlords and just the workers same for the protoss cpu he has like 6 workers and he still does nothing, could that be because everytime i try to test my map it always randomizes my location and color? cause i should be player and red but it doesnt always make me that thanks

Yeah, try to uncheck the 'Random Start Location' for Force 2 under Forces... that should stop the mess up.

btw, I forgot to add this when I post that last post. ;P
