You spent a while creating a picture when you could have spent that time answering your own question by testing it.
You confuse me.

Yes, it does work. Or at least it seemed to work on my 'multiplayer 1v1' map.

Yep, you can totally do that Adriane! I do it all the time in skirmish or mission maps. The Ai will follow the path up to the point it splits, and then randomly selects one to travel along until it merges back together again, if that makes sense.

Well, in my experience the team doesnt travel as a whole team sometimes, the team splits up when it randomly chooses a path...
To have some more control you can make some generic scripts so you are certain that the team will follow the path as a whole...
[img=https://s29.postimg.org/u0rtxnatj/Paths.png]Paths[/img]
Here is an example of the scripting
[code]
[S A nd][E N H]OnCreate
*** IF ***
True.
*** THEN ***
Have Team '' follow Waypoint Path 'StartPath' , as a team is TRUE
[S A nd][E N H]StartPath_End
*** IF ***
Team '' has reached the end of Waypoint Path 'StartPath'
*** THEN ***
Run Subroutine 'Coinflip'.
[S A nd][E N H]Coinflip
*** IF ***
True.
*** THEN ***
Set timer 'RandomPath' to expire between 0 and 20 frames.
Set timer 'FirstPath' to expire in 10 frames.
Enable Script 'FirstPath_Expired'.
[ns na D][E N H]FirstPath_Expired
*** IF ***
Timer 'FirstPath' has expired.
*** THEN ***
Run Subroutine 'First || Second'.
[S A nd][E N H]First || Second
*** IF ***
Timer 'RandomPath' has expired.
*** THEN ***
Have Team '' follow Waypoint Path 'FirstPath' , as a team is TRUE
*** ELSE ***
Have Team '' follow Waypoint Path 'SecondPath' , as a team is TRUE
[S A nd][E N H]Hunt
*** IF ***
Team '' has reached the end of Waypoint Path 'FirstPath'
*** OR ***
Team '' has reached the end of Waypoint Path 'SecondPath'
*** THEN ***
Team '' begins hunting.
[/code]
StartPath_End, First || Second and Hunt are Generic scripts.
The coinflip script isnt really needed, added it to make it more clear, you can execute the parameters in the StartPath_End script instead of making a seperate script.
Be sure that you make 2 seperate paths of Firstpath and Secondpath so dont connect the last to waypoints but put the last waypoints on top of eachother.

I have used this method many times and it works like a charm.
