rockzWaits are useful in hyper triggers and in simple triggers. When displaying a series of texts, it's nice to just use a wait and save a few triggers.
None.

How to detect when a player is attacking?
ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!
Suffice it to say, death counts are almost always more versatile than waits. You couldn't have come up with this "system" using waits, as once a trigger starts, it can't be stopped (unless you use wait blocks). You made a good choice in picking DCs for that. I always recommend DCs over waits, even in music.

If you wish to keep the player from attacking the computer at all:
-CONDITION- always
-ACTION- Set player 7 to ALLY
Preserve trigger
If you wish for the computer to unally the player:
-CONDITION- Player 1 kills at least 1 (SPEC UNIT)
Player 7 suffers at least 1 (SPEC UNIT)
-ACTION- Set player 1 to ENEMY
Make sure you have alot of hyper triggers for the first trigger to be effective.
-CONDITION- always
-ACTION- Set player 7 to ALLY
Preserve trigger

The second trigger won't work if player 1 kills a unit and player 7 loses one of the same type of unit in an unrelated battle.
None.
If each player does not have a specific unit for itself, like a normal game, then all you can do is trust the computer player can fight back, unless someone else can get that trigger for you.
EDIT:
Yes I knew something was wrong with the second trigger, I was just about to edit it, but I guess you beat me. Sorry about that. BUT, if you have the SPEC UNITs at a certain location, if a player unallies the computer, it will attack that unit in the location. That way you CAN"T lose it in an unrelated battle, try something like that.
~~EDIT~~
Here are some possible problems you may encounter, I'm just going to answer them now before you ask
After the SPEC UNIT dies, the computer can't sense when another player betrays them : Make more than one SPEC UNIT and place them in boxes near other player's units a fair distance apart (if using range)
Enemies keep getting to the SPEC UNITS : Make a trigger that moves all units away from the SPEC UNITs' location.

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius[2024-5-06. : 3:04 am]
Ultraviolet -- VraelVrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]
