[Trigger] Help with opening gates with levers

[Euskaltano]

Hi everyone! Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a gate on a fortress, and inside the fortress I have two levers. On one lever I have a trigger that when the lever dies, the gate will open and the lever will resurrect. The other lever closes the gate. This system works just fine, and I can open and close the gate using the levers with no problem.

The problem is that if another player destroys my gate, all I have to do is hit one of the levers again and it resurrects my gate. I can't figure out how to make this not happen.
I've tried making a condition where the lever checks to see if the gate is alive first before opening and closing it, and I've also tried setting a trigger where when the gate is destroyed, it also removes the levers. But both of these triggers mess up my original triggers for some strange reason. They make it so that once I hit the levers to open or close the gate, the levers no longer resurrect. I don't know how to fix it.

I've attached pictures of one of my triggers.

Thanks so much for your help!

Did you try turning off the p1 lever open trigger when Gate (Diagonal 1) dies?

Yes, I've tried that too. I don't know why, but any additional trigger that I put on there somehow breaks the lever's resurrection trigger. I can't figure out how to fix it. I've uploaded a copy of it just in case anyone feels like they want to experiment with it. It's gonna be a really fun map once this one problem is resolved.

Another problem I noticed when I was testing this map with some friends is that if a friend is attacking my gate, all I have to do is open and close it, and the gate comes back to full health.

It's because of the "trick" Blizzard uses to open & close gates.

function ModifyGateBJ takes integer gateOperation, destructable d returns nothing
    if (gateOperation == bj_GATEOPERATION_CLOSE) then
        if (GetDestructableLife(d) <= 0) then
            call DestructableRestoreLife(d, GetDestructableMaxLife(d), true)
        endif
        call SetDestructableAnimation(d, "stand")
    elseif (gateOperation == bj_GATEOPERATION_OPEN) then
        if (GetDestructableLife(d) > 0) then
            call KillDestructable(d)
        endif
        call SetDestructableAnimation(d, "death alternate")
    elseif (gateOperation == bj_GATEOPERATION_DESTROY) then
        if (GetDestructableLife(d) > 0) then
            call KillDestructable(d)
        endif
        call SetDestructableAnimation(d, "death")
    else
        // Unrecognized gate state - ignore the request.
    endif
endfunction

When you want to close the gate, it sets its hp to the maximum value.
When you want to open the gate, it kills the destructable (which breaks the idea I suggested about turning off the trigger).

When gate dies, you can check for death state of respective lever that is responsible for reviving the gate, so you know if gate died because of lever, or not. Then levers triggers can be deactivated/removed.
