Is it possible to make computer players attack their own units by any chance?
This would be a great help if its possible

No, it's not possible, the best solution I would have for you is have two computer player's the same colour and make them enemies, and when the point comes to when you need to attack a certain unit of their's give that unit to the opposing computer so it looks like there attacking their own unit since its the same colour but there really not.. I know it takes up 1 more slot but what can you do? 
unless any1 else has a much smarter theory?

You could use a Hack to make them attack themselves, but then, how could you do that every game!
Sadly like ETEFT stated the best method is to have two players of the same colour.
For that you need to have another editor, not StarEdit or X-tra Editor, like StarForge or SCMDraft 2. Then you can set two players to have same colour.
It should be two Computer Players, not Neutral or Rescueable, beacause neither would work, though Neutral could be attacked by another Computer, so is an option, but wouldn't (unsure) fight back.
Two computers, but its what you want to change teams, if it is just a select units, its not so hard, otherwise if it is a random group of things, its harder, because on 'Anywhere' location it will go from the Top Left downwards for them, maybe have locations covering parts of map, and choosing a few for converting...

You can either use players above 12, or expariment with triggers and different players under 12. You know players 9-11 are unallied with themselves, but they lack the attacking capability. http://www.staredit.net/gf/death/Players.txt

Reference the player alliance guide. One of those players has to make someone unallied with themselves, just set them to computer.

Do what MiniMosse said. It can make units attack their allies. Only problem is all units will do it. If you have 2 units, they will be upset with each other.
You can either have 2 unalleid ot each other, have a unallied comp ling or something under units and hava all units have splash damage, or use those map revealers that do cool things.

All i basically need is atleast 6 players that can use the Create Unit trigger and its condition known as Death.
Also the Ai script Random suicide missions.
Yea i also did try player 9,10,11 long time back when i just got starforge, i used triggers that made them allied to the defenders and enemy to the attackers, But they just stood there
Maybe the Order unit to location would work?
