Event triggers more than once

[Luka22]

Well i made a trigger that is suposed to teleport a hero back to base when a player types a massage containing : -b . It works pretty well , but the problem is if he types the command again then the trigger begins again while still processing the 1st one. So if i type -b more times then once it will teleport me more than once and it results in a special effect bug. I hope you guys get this ty in advance ...

turn the trigger off once you start the spell/trigger and then turn it back on when the spell/trigger is finished.

OK but will it still finish the one that already started ? Because the full trigger lasts for about 6 secs

Yeah it will, but note that this won't work for multiple units trying to use this trigger (since when the second unit uses it the trigger will be off). If you only have 1 hero then it's fine.

If you want to make it work for more than 1 hero do this:
Create an array of booleans.
When a hero uses -b, set the boolean corresponding to that player to true.
When he finishes teleporting, set it to false.
If the boolean for a player is true, then don't do anything when the player uses -b.

I already made different triggers for different players , so if i turn the trigger of after the start , then it will still finish it's job and block any other attempts of using it again, before i turn it on again?

If you do as Nichilus wrote you won't be able to use the ability again before it finishes, and yes, it will do the job it is supposed to.
