ok. I am making a warhammer 40K map and i have it so that when the Cadian (terran) player Collects 500 gas (i'm not using minerals) Some Hormagaunt Brood (zerglings) Come and attack you. But all of the sudden the order is not working... 
if i need more details 
then tell me and i will tell you more.

did you check your triggers? maybe it's just a careless mistake
(eg wrong location,wrong player etc.)

Did you make it that if they have exactly 500 gas they attack? Change to at least if you did because maybe you have more than 500 gas so then they won't attack.

You probably used the 'Attack' order to make them attack the Terran, that won't work.
You can only use the attack order to attack buildings, since you can only order to locations and units, unlike buildings, are not tile-based, so the order ignores them.
Instead, you should use the 'Patrol' order.
Patrol works like 'Move', with only two differences:
1. Unlike in 'Move', where units ignore enemies near them, in 'Patrol' they will attack any enemy units in their range.
2. If there are no enemy units in their range they walk between their current location and the location you ordered them to patrol to.
The fact they go between the locations shouldn't be a problem since you'd probably expect the Terran to kill them anyway... and if the Terran die, well, I assume you'll lose than so what does it matter?

ok legacy... i have some bunkers in the way of the entrances so the "zerg" have to attack the bunkeras to attack the base! which is why i ignored that part about "Attack,patrol, move" (no offense) 
anyway almost have the first part done.... probably be a campaign... because the "zerg" base takes up half the map... post again soon

It doesn't matter, you should still use the patrol order.
You only use the 'attack' order in maps where you have a spacific singal building that should be attacked, if you want an example - check out this Blizzard map... it's in your SC directory (good map btw):
