[Trigger] Uber noob needs gate trigger help

[Iron Elf]

hey ive been trying to make a gate trigger with these properties but i dont know how to do it i really need step by step instructions for this thats very discriptive.

What the trigger is supposed to do:
a unit hits a lever and the gate opens if he hits it again the gate closes.

Please help and many blood elves to the one who does help

i throw together some triggers but idk if they work... didnt try it
but you have to make a variable that is a boolean and have it false

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 052 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • openclose Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Set openclose = True
        • Destructible - Open Demonic Gate (Diagonal 1) 0235 <gen>
      • Else - Actions

and to close it

• Destructible - Close Demonic Gate (Diagonal 1) 0235 <gen>

{EDIT}
Sorry my computer wont let me edit it but to close

• Untitled Trigger 001 Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 052 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • openclose Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set openclose = False
        • Destructible - Close Demonic Gate (Diagonal 1) 0235 <gen>
      • Else - Actions

        • Destructible - Resurrect PickLeverInEditor <gen> with (Max life of (Last created destructible)) life and Hide birth animation
        • Set Lever_Bolean = True
      • Else - Actions
        • Destructible - Close PickGateInEditor <gen>
        • Destructible - Resurrect PickLeverInEditor <gen> with (Max life of (Last created destructible)) life and Hide birth animation

thanks yall =) i really need this for my new map im working on many blood elfs to you =)



I like both ideas

but one question mister/misses iown_azz how do i set that trigger to work for a certain team or like make it work for player one and his team mates?

and my question for you mister/misses dardas is should i with the variable use?

Variable name: what you said
Variable type: destructable-type
Initial Value: lever

ok now you want to make a variable
Force = PlayerGroup
to open it add this as a trigger... note that the first one didn't work

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Force = (All allies of Player 1 (Red))
    • Player Group - Pick every player in Force and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Picked player)
          • Then - Actions
            • Destructible - Open Elven Gate (Horizontal) 0000 <gen>
            • Game - Display to Force the text: ((Name of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) + has opened the gate)
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_Force)
    • Wait 0.05 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn on Untitled Trigger 002 <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

now to close, but you need to make sure the check is off for Initially On

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Force = (All allies of Player 1 (Red))
    • Player Group - Pick every player in Force and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Picked player)
          • Then - Actions
            • Destructible - Close Elven Gate (Horizontal) 0000 <gen>
            • Game - Display to Force the text: ((Name of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) + has closed the gate)
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_Force)
    • Wait 0.50 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn on Untitled Trigger 001 <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

I also add the mde it where it wont leak so copy as is or it might like bad

you actually stil didnt need vars.

could use:

• ((owner of (Entering unit)) is an ally of player 1 (red)) Equal to True

can be found under "Boolean Comparison".
