You mean how to make the triggers for the players that are not in game not work?

Have the triggers to create player 1's enemies be run by player 1, player 2's enemies run by player 2, etc. This way, if players are not present, they will not be able to run the trigger to create the enemies.
There are tons of ways to go about doing what you want to do; this is just one of the most common.

Make the level triggers under each human player.

U could make a timer using units of some sort. maybe air units. each unit=5 seconds or so. The units would have to be for that player so that u can run seperate triggers for different units. The unit timer will allow u to have seperate timers.

If you want to do stuff only for players in the game without having to make those players own the triggers personally (though that would be the recommended way), just apply the target player of your trigger actions as the players' force instead. Instead of 'Create 1 unit' for each individual human, instead use 'Create 1 unit' for the whole human force (which is the same as multiple 'Create unit' actions for each player, except it ignores ones that aren't player).

you could center on a unit for p1 create unit
center on a unit for p2 create unit etc....
but then you have units that will be created at the middle of the map so you would have to fix that simple flaw in which there is several ways around it.

The simplest way to do this is just to have each group of defense monsters spawn under the player who's supposed to be defending against them. So instead of

Create 1 dropship for current player at human 1 defense
Create 1 dropship for current player at human 2 defense
Create 1 dropship for current player at human 3 defense
Create 1 dropship for current player at human 4 defense
Create 1 dropship for current player at human 5 defense

Create 1 dropship for current player at human 7 defense
you make
Affects:
[human 1]
Conditions:
Always
Actions:
Create 1 dropship for [computer] at human 1 defense
and repeat for every human player, changing both the affected player and the spawn location for each trigger.
However, there are other ways of doing it. For example, you could have it spawn attacking units for every human player that has a unit of a certain type, which would still require one trigger for every human player but they would all be under the computer's trigger list. Or you could have one trigger that spawns units everywhere and other ones that delete them if the human players don't have certain units. At any rate, it's not a hard thing to do.
