Hey people I am trying to make a boss battle between three units , Kerrigan, Ghost, Marine against a Reaver (which is the boss)

HUmans
P1 Marine
P2 Ghost
P3 Kerrigan
Computer
P6 Reaver

Now for starters the three heros walk into a kind of clearing and then the clearing seals off behind them and the reaver appears in front and you have to defeat it.

These are the characteristics I want the reaver to have:

If you get to close to the Reaver you will die because it squashes you. ( I know how to do this)

The Reaver will chase the players around.(forcing them to run away otherwise they get splatted)

The Reaver occasionaly spawns two Lurkers which harrass the players (spawn looks flashy like explosions or recalls)

The Reaver walks to the center of the arena, charges up, and then does a big explosion which kills anyone not in specific points. (observer for charge up, observers for xplosion and the xplosion expands outwards. Players hide behind rocks to avoid the blast.

Also the Reaver will be saying random stuff to the players throughout the battle "blah blah ur gonna die, blah blah"

The Reaver does not shoot scarabs btw. After the Reaver dies the players can continue on their quest.

So I know this is probably alot of triggers but can you guys help me with this please? Thanks for your time

Center a location on the human units and make the reaver walk to them.

The Reaver occasionaly spawns two Lurkers which harrass the players (spawn looks flashy like explosions or recalls)

Just randomize a switch or set a DC, then when the condition is met, create 2 lurker at the location that the reaver is in. Then make an explosion by creating a wraith and killing it.

The Reaver walks to the center of the arena, charges up, and then does a big explosion which kills anyone not in specific points. (observer for charge up, observers for xplosion and the xplosion expands outwards. Players hide behind rocks to avoid the blast.

When he walks to the center, make some obs follow him, and have burrowed lings for P9, wherever u want the blast. Then when hes charging up make the obs move to him. When he fires, do this:
center location on P9 ling.
Give ling to P10.
Order 1 obs to move to that location.

THen when its time to explode:
Center location on Observer
Kill all men at that location

U should copy and paste these triggers many times so it works faster.

Also the Reaver will be saying random stuff to the players throughout the battle "blah blah ur gonna die, blah blah"

Again, with the randomize switches, lets say ur randomizing 3.

1=set
2=set
3=set
(create 2 lurkers)

1=clear
2=clear
3=clear
(create 2 lurkers)

1=set
2=clear
3=clear
(random saying)

etc.

Affects:
Player 6
Conditions:
Current player commands at least 1 protoss reaver
Actions:
Run AI script for current player: Send all units on random suicide missions
Preserve trigger

However, this only works if the reaver has scarabs. If you simply want it to follow the players, you would have to center a location on the players and tell it to move there.

Of course, you will have to modify the initial trigger to involve some other condition as well in order to make sure this doesn't just go on happening over and over again as soon as the reaver gets to that location.

Under most conditions, using two switches as 'nothing' switches which, when either of them is anything but set, prevent a message from being displayed, the messages will display approximately once every 8 seconds. Every time you add another 'nothing' switch, the number of seconds between messages goes up by a factor of 2, so for example with four such switches it will say things once every 32 seconds. I used two for simplicity, but three or four would probably work better.
