Trying to make a Gate with an Open/Close function Pt. 2

Well I've posted this before.. But I wasn't very detailed.. I tried PMing a few people who replied.. but I couldn't understand what they were saying and I didn't want to keep PMing them and be a pest.

OK.. so firstly.. I'm VERY new when it comes to triggering and variables.. so please.. be as detailed as possible.. especially when it comes to conditions and variables.. I can never find the right thing there.

Now here's what I'd like.. A Castle Gate.. the normal "Gate" Doodad, which has the ability to Open (Death Alternate animation) and then have the "Gate <Dead> pathing map" (you can walk through it), and then have the ability to close it again and it have the "Gate <base>" (you can't walk through it) pathing map. And being able to do that again and again.

Some additional info:

I don't want it to be a doodad.. I have an engineer who I'd like to be able to build a new gate and replace the old one. Also, I'd like it to be either a Unit Training or Unit creating event.. Or anything else.. such as a switch you can get a unit to select to open/close it....all i've seen in maps so far are where you have to type "-open gate" or whatever.. and I'm not fond of that.

I think that's about it.. If you're going to reply.. Please be as detailed as possible.. I'm familiar with the object editor.. but when I see one line replies that are about a trigger.. I have no idea what to do.. and I just waste more hours trying to figure it out :\

I've been working 3 days straight on this gate.. and the only progress I've made is:

Events - A unit enters (Entire Map)
Conditions - (Unit-type of (Entering Unit)) Equal to OpenGateUnit
Actions - Unit - Kill Open Gate 0031 <gen> // My Gate unit
- Unit - Remove (Entering unit) from the game

And what that does is it makes the gate die.. which plays the death animation.. then you can't select it. But as I said, I'd like it to play the open (Death Alternate) animation and be able to select it and make it go back to closed.

I would appreciate SOO much if anyone can do this for me.. You can have a character in my map, or I can make mad love to you.. whatever ^_^ But please.. just be as detailed as possible.. Step by step.. I promise I won't PM you with any questions if you help me :D (If it works that is)

Thanks!

Well, I don't really know about the death animations and stuff, but if you want a gate that you could open/close, but still be selectable and not be destroyed i'm guessing, is that correct or what, because if so then i would tell ya a different alternative way (with details and pics, ect, ect) on how to do that, but if making the gate simply openable and closeable without being destroyed and not used by a "word command" then i wont bother, do reply to if it is a yes, you'd like the one without death animation...

or no i want animation....

I dont know death animations really......

Naw.. Thanks for the reply though. Just don't like the whole typing to open it thing, too much work for the player. Could just open a map that has it and copy the trigger anyhoo.

Anyone else know how to do what I asked? Is it even possible? o_O

OH NO NO NO my friend!

I have 2 different ways to open the gate WITHOUT word command, one is opening it by having the unit walk into a region (just put a circle of power of region so player knows where it is) and is very small and simple.
Or have a building next to the gate and have it deal with trained units by one unit called Open and the other Closed.

Not through the word command

The only difference between the three would be the event and event response.
