My Triggers are Trippling

Sorry for the profanity (even though it will be censored), but by this point I'm so ****ing pissed off. Usually when I play my shooter game on b.net, the ****ing triggers tripple. For instance I'll have three timers, three spawning heroes, 3 messages, 3 times the cinematic movement, dialog and sound, etc. Why the hell is this **** happening, I don't understand, is lag trippling my triggers?

Unless you WANT a trigger to repeat, add a (Turn off (This Trigger)) action at the begining of all the non-repeated ones.

I said it doesn't happen 100% of the time

Really? I don't see that anywhere in your first post.

Are there 3 players? If each player can trigger the event, then, naturally, the triggers will run 3 times.

Keep in mind that turning off a trigger does NOT prevent it from being run by other triggers. The "off" trigger will no longer be triggered by events, but it can be run if another trigger runs its.

Other then these guesses, nobody's going to be able to help you unless you post some triggers.

if you have any wait functions make sure they are "polled wait"s the normal wait can cause that sometimes.

Well, I'm guessing you are right somehow, 2 People-Double the Triggers, 3 People-Tripple the Triggers, etc.
E-Dialog Button is Clicked
C-(Clicked Dialog Button) equal to Mission
A- 1) Wait 5.00 Seconds
2) Turn Cinematic Mode On for All Players [This will be affected by the double or tripple]
3) Disable user controll for all players
4) Disaply to all players |c00FF0000By Remote|r [Affected]
ETC.

How could these simple triggers be affected, I suspect it is a lag problem

Im using all the normal waits, I'll try polled waits and see what happens.....

Lag will NOT cause that. Thats gunna happen if all players press buttons at the same time or in rapid secsession.

are 2 triggers firing at the same time? Make sure there's a difference in the triggers or 2 triggers with the same action/conditions will fire at the exact same time. Probably not the problem, but you never know :/
