"Turn on Trigger" not working

[Limitless]

Hello, recently I've been struggling with having Trigger X be "initially turned on" unchecked, and then have Trigger Y, at the end of its' actions, to "Turn on Trigger X"

But trigger X never happens - sometimes I put an event on it, other times no. It simply doesn't happen.

btw, it's not that the actions in Trigger X cannot occur, they are perfectly doable with any other type of event, they just don't happen even when I turn on the trigger, is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!

If we take your word for it, this should work. But it doesn't. So show trigger Y and X please.

 

[Daffa]

Logically, it should work, something in the event or the condition might cause the screw up.

As Chaosy said, show both triggers.

yeah release the tiggers, the hivers are starving !

Note that everything works except for the "Turn on SacrificesMon" for the second trigger... it simply doesn't happen.

 

[Wietlol]

When is SacrificesMon supposed to run?

Create 2 Debug Messages.
(Debug Message is "Game - Display <text> to all players".)
The first one being just below the turn on.
The second one being as first action in SacrificesMon.
Make sure that both have a different text.

Maybe create another one where you manually call SacrificesMon, or add events to it.

 

[Gismo359]

Pardon me if I misunderstood your problem, but shouldn't you be Running SacrificesMon instead of Turning it on? Turning it on has no impact if the trigger doesnt have an event.

Also, if you are going to be turning triggers on/off like that ('like that' as in, it wouldnt make a difference) on Map Initialization, you might as well use the 'Initially turned on' option.

This.

You have to "Trigger - Run Trigger" action, and leave SacrificesMon initially turned on.

 

[Chaosy]

Just turning the trigger on wont run it, there is a specific action for that.

Furthermore, your triggers are pretty stupid (no offense meant)

1. remove the wait from the Initialization trigger. It doesn't benefit you in any way.
2. replace the turn on trigger with run
3. remove the event from the "Removethistoo" trigger
4. replace the turn on trigger in "removethistoo" with run trigger

that's about it.
