drezman	you know in SC there was a trigger repeat sort of thing, how would you do that in WC? make the action keep on repeating its self over and over again?

mikedogdude	Do you mean preserve trigger? All the WCIII triggers already have that unless you turn off the trigger. But if you want to make it repeat, either make it a periodic event trigger, or use the "Trigger - Run Trigger" action.

drezman	i mean a trigger that would make only the action repeat after the even and conditions have been previously met.

Raptor--	all war3 triggers will automatically repeat whenever the event occurs and the conditions are met in war3 its not a matter of making triggers repeat, this is simple, its a matter of making them not repeat with 'trigger - turn off' i couldn't exactly understand what you're asking drez, uh, ur grammar was a little ackward

mikedogdude	Ok, just put a "Trigger - Run Trigger (TriggerX) (Ignoring Conditions)" at the end of TriggerX. If you want it to stop when the conditions arent met, then use (Checking Conditions). Or if you wanna be difficult and only have certain conditions that have to be met, then use the If Then Else actions.

drezman	umm, how would that keep the action going until the event repeats itself?

Pesmerga	Make 2 seperate triggers, 1 with pure actions and 1 with events and actions. Repeat trigger #1 and when #2 occurs, have it turn off #1.

drezman	wait, how would that work, if it turns it off then how would it start again after the other trigger is finished?

sagrovyboy	Turn it back on at the end of the second one.

drezman	w/e, this doesnt make sense to me, is there another possible way?

Pesmerga	Simple lightswitch mechanics - if its turned off, turn it back on!

I saw like a "Add trigger to trigger Quene(sp?)" and "remove trigger from (the word i cant spell)"... what do those do?

I think they just add the said trigger to a list and then the list does em all in order, and the remove trigger just simply takes it out... Is there a function like "Detect # of times TRIGGER A executed"? So like "TRIGGER A executed = 100 times, remove TRIGGER A from list"? If so this could be useful in someway.
