Your question is unclear, since you only posted one trigger. What four? What can't you figure out how to combine into a single trigger? Why is what you posted not sufficient? Your event is wrong, you should be listening for -tips on not -tips.
The way you have it written now if I spam -tips on multiple times in a row it will flood the screen with tips messages for every player, which could be used to troll them or make the screen unreadable; typing -tips off doesn't stop all the instances of this trigger that are in the middle of waiting. Realistically the tips should be shown on a per-player basis or even a per-team basis (right now anyone typing -tips on shows tips for all players on all teams) but I guess that's up to you. Use a timer and pause it if tips are turned off while displaying. Use some variables to make the tips modular; if you do want to make them shown on a per-player or per-team basis this will make that much easier.

To both of you: Why not use as a substring? It seems way faster and it combines 2 triggers into one.
Pyrogasm: At moment your trigger affects all players, I'm not sure if that was intended or not. It was just an observation.
Wow excellent, but when I typing (tips off) nothing happens, and the tips are still repeating! and I changed the tips for per player to avoid trolling(not sure ;d)

Realistically the tips should be shown on a per-player basis or even a per-team basis (right now anyone typing -tips on shows tips for all players on all teams) but I guess that's up to you. ... Use some variables to make the tips modular; if you do want to make them shown on a per-player or per-team basis this will make that much easier.
You are erroneously using (Triggering Player) in triggers that do not have player events. They have timer events. Because TP doesn't exist the game returns Player(0) in JASS which is actually Player 1 in GUI; so the tips will appear to be working but really it's just showing things to Player 1 only. You are also not doing anything on a per-player basis right now. To do that you have two options:
Use a different timer and a different counter variable for each player. This is slightly more code but works exactly how you want it to.
Use 1 timer for all players but only show to specific players that have turned tips on when it expires. This has the downside of the tip not showing up instantly when you type -tips on, and since that timer runs ever 15 seconds it might be a while until you actually start seeing tips.
Use 1 timer for all players that times out every 1 second and shows for each player a tip when that player's timeout count goes up to 15. I think this is the best solution.

Because you didn't give TempPlayerGroup[] a size of 2+ like I said you needed to in my comment. Also if you ever call DestroyForce() on TempPlayerGroup[1 or 2] it will stop working because now there's no empty force (player group) in that force variable.
You are using (and showing the messages to) Player_Tips[Integer_Tips] but Player_Tips is never initialized. You would want to use Player(Integer_Tips), which shows up as 'convert player id to player' in GUI. The player array is unnecessary, that's the whole point of saving the player id into an integer variable; instead you can just have one variable which you assign as necessary: Player_Tips (which you already have in the map). I used this variable in both triggers.
You removed Player_Tips from PlayerGroups_Tips[1] when it should be removing ALL players from the group. I changed the on for _Tips[2] to use this method too instead of just removing the specific player.
