Well I figured it out two minutes after posting!!!

I tried hiding the entire UI, didn't work, that button was literally the only button left on screen.

I combed through all the Advanced AI actions and found a couple that seemed promising, but did nothing.

But here is what did it...

Player -Make all players in Player Group treat each other as Neutral
Player -Make all players in Player Group treat each other as Shared Defeat Off/On

You need to make the Computer AI Neutral with the User, which I tried earlier.

But you CAN NOT touch Shared Defeat.

Turning it On will re-enable the "AI Command Button".

Turning it Off will make them Enemies.

When a User is allied to a Computer AI, the "Open AI Communication" button appears on the Players UI.

I've attached a screenshot that highlights this button.

This menu allows the User to order the Computer player where to attack/defend/expand.

I need to disable this functionality for my map.

Does anyone know how to?

I know there isn't a lot of traffic here anymore, and I've exhausted every method I could think of.

But this button kinda ruins the whole point of my Project. And its a shame.

The players allied to the computer need to vote what race the AI plays as.

I could have the Lobby Host just ask each team what race they want.

But that's so sloppy it makes me want to abandon the project.

I could give each team 3 comps, one of each race, and only use the comp that has the race that gets voted.

But thats 6 slots taken by computers. And I wanted this game to scale up to 4 teams. That's 12 slots for computers.

I wish I had the time to learn editing AI via the .galaxy files.

I bet you could execute a specific race AI with just a couple lines.

Here's the code for my map.

    Events
        Game -Map initialization
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Player 1's race to Protoss.
        Melee -Set melee starting resources for all players
        Melee -Create melee starting units for all players
        Melee -Start the melee AI for all computer players

Player 1 is a computer player, their Race is Terran in the Lobby.

The code properly spawns protoss starting units.

But the Melee AI does not execute. Player 1 will gather resources but won't build any structures or train any units.

I need to use the Melee AI on a computer player who's race is changed after the Lobby.

Does anyone know a workaround?

Does anyone know how to execute the melee AI for a specific race?
