[Trigger] Serious problem with gate system

[klemen]

Hello guys. I am facing a serious problem with gate open/close system, and I'd need some serious help.

I am using a unit with open/close abilities to open/close a specific gate.

• open and close
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Gate Lever
  • Actions
    • -------- OPEN --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to Open Gate
      • Then - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Triggering unit) Equal to Gate Lever 0020 <gen>
          • Then - Actions
            • Destructible - Open Iron Gate (Vertical) 0076 <gen>
          • Else - Actions
            • ...
      • Else - Actions
    • -------- CLOSE --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to Close Gate
      • Then - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Triggering unit) Equal to Gate Lever 0020 <gen>
          • Then - Actions
            • Destructible - Close Iron Gate (Vertical) 0076 <gen>
          • Else - Actions
            • ...

This works well. Gate is opening and closing when the abilities are being cast. Now to the problem.

If you destroy the gate and then use open/closeabilities, the gates are RENEWED, meaning they get full HP back. To counter this, I created a trigger that removes the lever when gate is destroyed.

• gate MT south off
  • Events
    • Destructible - Iron Gate (Vertical) 0076 <gen> dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove Gate Lever 0020 <gen> from the game

And now to the real problem: Lever is removed after you cast its ability! Open/Close gate seem to mean (to W3) the same as "Destructible Dies".


How to bypass this? Any ideas are welcome.


PS: I am not going to use units as gates. Period.

Along with the following condition:

• (Triggering unit) Equal to Gate Lever 0020 <gen>

Add

• (Iron Gate (Vertical) 0076 <gen> is alive) Equal to True

which is a Boolean (Destructible - Destructible is alive) comparison.

I managed to solve it...I added Turn off (trigger that removes lever) before action Open Gate, and turn on same one after that. Works like a charm.

Thx anyway, this can be closed.
