Why does Run a Trigger (check conditions) still run triggers that are off?

Just wonder, I am having a problem with a trigger, when its off I don't want it to run... But I a another trigger that runs periodicly that is meant to run two seperate triggers "when they are on". But they aren't suppose to run at the same time, or at the beginning of the map... They are initially off, yet they are still being ran, despite the perodic event using.

Trigger - Run Movement <gen> (checking conditions)

So if its off, why does the trigger still run? and how can I prevent it from doing so?

Being 'off' doesn't matter as far as the 'Run <trigger>' function is concerned, I imagine.

For your example 'Movement' trigger, create a boolean 'RunMovement' variable, initially set to false.
Add to the conditions of Movement "RunMovement equal to True", and it won't run until you set RunMovement to true in some other trigger.

Off/On status of a trigger only affects events

So if I just added this condition.

((This trigger) is on) Equal to True


I should be fine?
