As long as

[RobertMKD]

How can I make a trigger to activate every x seconds as long as something other is active...?

There are 2 solutions I can think of right of the bat.
1:

• loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • ACTIVE Equal to True
  • Actions
    • -------- stuff --------

2.

• Trigger - Turn off loop <gen>

Yes, I know about that, but I have another event in the trigger I'm speaking of, and when I put periodic event, it does not work :/
and also, I can't do it with a variable, cause the trigger that must be activated may be used by multiple units... it's an autocast ability, the trigger must activate as long as the ability is autocast

What's the purpose of the trigger actually? Cast spells every x second or something?
It helps a lot if we can see the concept, even better if we can see the current trigger along with the concept goal

Multiple Units? You may have to use indexing...

If it's an autocast ability, then you can just detect if the unit casts the spell.
It has an order. By this, manually casting and autocasting the spell will make the trigger fire.

Daffa is right though, I can't say much unless the spell concept is explained.

Hmm, I can't use indexes, cause I cannot know which unit may autocast the ability.. ..

• Spell 1 Autocast
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.40 seconds of game time
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(replenishlifeon))
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(replenishlifeon))
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Ordered unit) to Undead Obsidian Statue - Essence of Blight
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: ability cast
        • Wait 0.40 seconds
        • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions
        • Wait 0.40 seconds
        • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)

I've made another trigger about the ability, which works perfectly fine, but the autocast only works when I activate it, and then I have to deactivate it and activate it again so it will fire again...
I want to make it to fire automatically if autocast is activated :/

any solutions?

Your trigger is wrong in more than one way.

• Auto Check
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(healon))
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to enabled
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(healoff))
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from enabled
          • Else - Actions

• Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.40 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in enabled and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • -------- order picked unit to cast --------
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: update!

or use the following if you really want to merge them like you wanted.

• Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.40 seconds of game time
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetTriggerEventId() == ConvertUnitEvent(38) then
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(healon))
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to enabled
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(healoff))
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from enabled
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: else
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in enabled and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • -------- order picked unit to cast --------
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: update!
    • Custom script: endif
