How do you make a trigger LOOP!

[Ghost666]

I am trying to make it so that...

Unit enters region..

Change ownership to curret player.

And if there is such a thing...

Preserve trigger (so that it loops the trigger)

I cannot find this trigger.

The action is called:
Trigger - Run (Ignoring/Checking conditions)

Leave it as:
Run (This trigger) ignoring/checking conditions

I think the ignoring/checking conditions is self-explanatory.

hm... btw if you dont turn off the trigger it is looped automatically. but depends a bit of your event and conditions.

For example this would loop auto and fire everytime a unit enters:

EVENT:          unit-a unit enters <area>
CONDITION:
ACTION:         change ownership of triggering unit to...

preserve isnt in warcraft 3, only in starcraft.
what sunny said. just put in the event and the action.

I have found those triggers and have tryed them.

What I got, game crashed. Don't know why... I have tryed both.

This idea I have also tryed. This is the main reason that I am posting about looping the trigger because that idea you presented there did not fire but yet only worked once.

By loop I thought you meant repeat the trigger... But repeating a trigger with a 0 second gap will make it try to run infinity times instantly, of course causing it to crash. By the way I haven't done Starcraft mapping.

But why such a simple trigger doesn't work is beyond me. Please copy it as text (right click on the name of the trigger right above "Events" then click copy as text) and paste it in your next post so we can see it.

        ((Entering unit) belongs to an enemy of Player) Equal to True
    Actions

So there must be a problem somewhere else so please - as los tacos already said - offer the whole trigger plz.
