Hi, I want to make computer players stop "interfering" in certain situations.
I still want them to fight, but only in the capacity of normal units standing guard, a unit approaching to attack if it gets hit, etc.
Examples:
Human player attacks a computer unit with a protoss carrier. The computer sends just about every available air unit to kill the carrier.
Human player uses any air unit to attack a computer-owned zerg devourer. The computer reinforces the devourer with as many air units as it can.
Human player's air unit (simulating a projectile) is given to the computer so it can't be re-directed. The computer stops the projectile air unit.
I have tried several AI scripts like various 'towns' in hope to dumb the AI down, but only rescue passive seems to have any effect, but I need the computers to be able
to fight
None.

I remember Carriers having this attribute in just about every impossible map I've played.

Try a neutral player for that if at all possible.
None.
I though the extended players could help your case, but I'm not sure.
As far as I remember, they are pretty passive, but attack when attacked, etc. I'm still uncertain about if they would attack nearby units or send a massive amount of units on an enemy ;o
None.

This would vary from player to player.

I don't think there's a way to make a computer respond less aggressively against carriers.
I have never witnessed a computer reinforcing a devourer so I can't say anything on that.
Give the projectile to a neutral player.
About the general aggressiveness problem: If it's not many units that have to be kept at bay you could use a bunch of locations that detect if an enemy is near the unit which shouldn't respond prematurely and always order it to it's original spot if there's no human nearby.
However in my experience it's enough just not to give the computer an AI. If you need an AI for special units and heavy spell usage you might try 2 different computers with the same color
When a unit has at least 4-5 acid spores, all the air unit near the unit will come attack it.
As others have said, make the computer neutral. They will have a very simple AI (attack people if attacked or if in range, give up after a short while).

custom AI tends to attack u with a 10minute rush, after that the comp tends to expand alot and play defense, only attacking u a 2nd time when it has a large unit advantage over u, which is almost nvr in most cases
None.
