| Indicates whether scavengers are enabled in this game. |
...
Currently it's very difficult for the AI to do anything with scavengers. This is because they are outside the accepted player ID bounds of the JS API (see bug ticket #3123 for details).
On a 2 player map, scavengers are player 3 (or 4?). On a 4 player map, scavengers are player 7. Because the JS API will only select player IDs lower than maxPlayers, and maxPlayers is the number of selectable players on a map (eg. 2 for a 2 player map), the scavenger player is essentially inaccessible to your script.
