Gate trigger

Could someone tell me why doesn't gate in my trigger closes when an enemy unit comes near it.

Code:

 outside
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Outside <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (((Triggering unit) belongs to an enemy of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True) then do (Set Enemy_Outside = True) else do (Do nothing)
        If (((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True) then do (Set Ally_Outside = True) else do (Do nothing)
        Trigger - Run check 2 <gen> (ignoring conditions)

Code:

 recheck
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Both <gen>
        Unit - A unit leaves Both <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in Outside <gen> matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit Group - Add (Matching unit) to Ally_Out
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in Inside <gen> matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit Group - Add (Matching unit) to Ally_In
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in Outside <gen> matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit Group - Add (Matching unit) to Enemy_Out
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in Ally_In and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set AllyIn = (AllyIn + 1)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in Ally_Out and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set AllyOut = (AllyOut + 1)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in Enemy_Out and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set EnemyOut = (EnemyOut + 1)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                AllyIn Equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Set Ally_Inside = False
            Else - Actions
                Set AllyIn = 0
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                AllyOut Equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Set Ally_Outside = False
            Else - Actions
                Set AllyOut = 0
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                EnemyOut Equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Set Enemy_Outside = False
            Else - Actions
                Set EnemyOut = 0
        Trigger - Run check 2 <gen> (checking conditions)

Code:

check 2
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Ally_Inside Equal to False) and (Ally_Outside Equal to False)
            Then - Actions
                Destructible - Close Elven Gate (Vertical) 0000 <gen>
                Wait 5.00 seconds
            Else - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Ally_Inside Equal to True) and (Enemy_Outside Equal to False)
            Then - Actions
                Destructible - Open Elven Gate (Vertical) 0000 <gen>
                Wait 5.00 seconds
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Ally_Outside Equal to True) and (Enemy_Outside Equal to False)
            Then - Actions
                Destructible - Open Elven Gate (Vertical) 0000 <gen>
                Wait 5.00 seconds
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Ally_Outside Equal to True) and (Enemy_Outside Equal to True)
            Then - Actions
                Destructible - Close Elven Gate (Vertical) 0000 <gen>
                Wait 5.00 seconds
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

Code:

inside new
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Inside <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set Ally_Inside = True
        Trigger - Run check 2 <gen> (ignoring conditions)

Also i will add my test map so you can see the region and everything.

Im not even going to look at that post but i will look at that map....

EDIT: i looked at that and so far u havent even told me whats wrong....i mean there is alot simpliar ways to control a gate opening and closing but if u want this to work depending on ur player....?

here....its this simple:

Code:

Open CLose
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Both <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                ((Owner of (Entering unit)) is an enemy of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
            Then - Actions
                Destructible - Close Elven Gate (Vertical) 0000 <gen
            Else - Actions
                Destructible - Open Elven Gate (Vertical) 0000 <gen>
        Wait 10.00 seconds
        Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

Tnx i'll try it later, if u have any suggestions please go right ahead

. Also i was trying to make triggers to slam the door when enemy unit arrive but it seems i'm not skilled enough to do that (need to practice more) :goes to practice:....
PS. I think i found a problem it was the ally_in/out variable but i dont know how to put in this variable number of ally or enemy units. I just don't know whats wrong with this part it doesn't count units at all (result at the Ally_Out=0 ?!?).

Code:

 
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in Outside <gen> matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit Group - Add (Matching unit) to Ally_Out                  
Unit Group - Pick every unit in Ally_Out and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set AllyOut = (AllyOut + 1)

layzie86988	In the top trigger you use (Triggering Unit) in the If. Use (Entering Unit) instead.
