To task a villager to build a building with triggers:

  1. Assign a villager as a builder.
  2. Place triggers to define the building’s foundation.
  3. Use the in-game menu to assign the building task to the builder in the trigger area.

I would get an AI script to do it, I never managed it with triggers.

Yeah, it’s not possible with triggers to create a foundation and task a Villager to it. If it’s for an AI player, you can use an AI script to assign the Villagers (Direct Unit Control is useful for this).

You can’t with triggers which is very silly imho given what you can generally do with triggers.

Yes. As far as I’m aware, it’s the best way of doing it by a fairly significant margin, likely the only reliable way.
