Making units attack civilians automatically, Is it possible? Options

[Rampastring]

Okay, I'm having a problem with 1 of my WIP MP maps. I'd like it to have a thing that if the players kill too many civilians, the civilians start attacking the players.

Now, I know how to make that idea. Homever, this is a bit problematic with the AI players since the civilians shoot the AI players and the AI players don't shoot them back.

So, my question is the following: Is it possible to make units and defensive structures automatically shoot civilians when they can (in multilplayer maps)?
And if it is, how?

Btw, if you've played the RA1 map "The Hills Have Eyes", you know what I'm aiming at.

However, I am not 100% sure on that I am just assuming since its the same idea pretty much to the change house action.

In skirmish maps, the AI Will not automatically attack civilians, even with the 'Make enemy' trigger.

Just an idea:
The problem is that civilians are no threat to the AI.
Give all civilian buildings and units an invisible silent dummy weapon that makes only 1 damage and has a slow rate of fire.
Then the civilians attack the AI if one of their units comes near and the AI will strike back and destroy the civilians.

Maybe it's also enough to give every civilian building/unit "SpecialThreatValue=1". Then the AI could recognize them as a threat.

Yay, I'm already a disc thrower!

That SpecialThreatValue didn't work; but your first idea did.

I gave the civilians a weapon, gave the weapon's warhead "Spread=10000" and when a civilian shot an AI player's unit or building, the AI counterattacked the civilians.

Thanks!
