Sup,Im new here and I need help 
Im currently working on a map that has 3 different races.Their all unallied.
If a player choses a race,he/she will be allied to the race.
But if other players also chose the same race,they will be allied with the other players that chose the same race and unally with the ones that chose a different race--but how do I set a trigger that does that?
Im confused with the triggers--sort of.

Well, if a player is 'user selectable', then they'll start off with a town hall and four workers of their chosen race at their start location. So you can look at what building they have at their start location to determine which race they are.
Finding all the pairs of matching races and getting them to ally is a different matter, though. If you don't mind making quite a few repetitive triggers, you can make lots of triggers like this:
And repeat for every possible combination of races (there are nine of them), for example:
and so on, then...
Repeat for every player...
That gives you seventy-two triggers to make
Actually, you only need a third as many if you make the default stance between players as 'enemy' (that way you don't need any of the 'enemy' triggers).

You only need three triggers, unless my theory doesn't work.
Create two locations, Location 1, which can be placed anywhere, and Location 2, which is placed in an open area away from all the players' main bases.
Then run the following triggers, one for each race.

Btw,this map is not having user selectable.Its more of u choosing a race in game..then later choose a hero for that race.Then u get allied to players whos the same race as u..including the cpu.
I fixed the Ally thingy thx to u guys,I still need to work on Ally "Vision" though.
Thx to all.
