Alright, I'm familiar with StarEdit, and have made a couple minor trigger-based rpg's, but there are a couple things I can't figure out.
1- In the SC Campaign, the Enslavers Campaign, and every other Campaign I've seen, they have the armies set as certain colors. Every time you play, your army is always the same color, the enemy is always the same color, etc. For instance, every time you play the SC Campaign, the heroes are always Teal. You get the picture.
Well, whenever I make a campaign, it seems every time I play it the armies are different colors. In my most recent one, for instance, I set the heroes for Player 3 but they are a different color every time. Never Teal! Is there some way to "set" the colors for the players that I don't know about? What am I doing wrong?
2- This is a trigger question. Ex:
Conditions:
Always.
Actions:
Create 1 Hyperion (Battlecruiser) for Player 3 at "Location 1"
Now, this should work fine, correct?
Well, whenever I play the campaign, it creates THREE Hyperions! Always! And this goes for the same with every other unit I create with the "Create Unit" trigger. What's going on? It always makes 3 of them!

For the colors. Go to forces and uncheck "random start location" for all forces.
For the trigger. You have assigned the trigger to a force, all player or just multiple players. So it is executed for all players you have assigned it.
Like if you make a trigger like this
It will execute 3 times. 1 time for each player so 3 marines are created.

uncheck random start locations in forces, and then for the trigger do this.
| Trigger |

| Players: |

| Actions: |
| ¤ create 1 hyperion for current player at location 3 |

You didn't offended me. You just repeated the same stuff. I don't find it offensive, I find it stupid.

Use DK's mod of staredit.
It has random start locations unchecked by defult!!!
2. It's becuase the trigger is for all players.
When you make a trigger for all players, it actually fires once for each player in the game.
So what you need to do is:
Switch 1 is cleared
Create 1 BC for player 3 at location
Set switch 1
