Is it possible to interrupt a trigger before it's finished? And how?


Example:
Rakhard uses his control panel to call off-map support with artilery strikes. This thing makes 8 random strikes at an area, each 3 seconds after the previous.
The mechanism is: playing a sound, then showing a special effect of a falling missile, then creating a dummy unit that looks like an explosion and damages an area.
HOWEVER! If Rakhard calls the artilery in the jungle, then teleports back to his space station where he stays 3 minutes and then returns back to the jungle the artilery continues firing (it had been paused in Rakhard's absence, because of the Transition Map System).
Which is incredibly stupid, though not likely to be done since AS is expensive.
So I want to add an action that interrupts certain triggers before they finish their actions.


STOP!!! Do NOT try to answer this question before you are absolutely sure you know about it.


Else you will just flood the thread with needless spam and will lose my time trying to make something that won't work.



+REP if the suggestion works or is proved impossible.
