Any way to set a trigger repeatedly?

Essentially, I have a trigger like this:

1. Conditions: "Player1" brings at least "#" "unit" to "Location".

Action: Display text message "blah".

Center view on "Location".

Give all "unit" owned by "Player2" at "Location" to "Player3".

2. "Player1" brings at most 0 "unit" to "Location".

Give all "unit" owned by "Player3" at "Location" to "Player2".

----------------------------------------------------

I've already tried using "Preserve trigger", but all this does is repeat the actions of the respective trigger repeatedly, which is not exactly what I intended...is there any script that can activate when Trigger2 is activated, which resets Trigger1?

Thanks!

Try setting a death counter with the first trigger, and have whatever value you count for deaths be a condition for the second.

I spent like 5 minutes looking at your triggers trying to figure what you're actually trying to do.
It's much easier to help if you just describe the behavior you want instead of posting non-working triggers.

So you want to fire the give/display/center view when you bring a unit somewhere only once, and want to undo the giving once you move the unit away. Then possibly start over. Right?

That's easily done by setting a switch:
1. Conditions:
- "Player1" brings at least "#" "unit" to "Location".
- Switch 1 is cleared
Action:
- Display text message "blah".
- Center view on "Location".
- Give all "unit" owned by "Player2" at "Location" to "Player3".
- Set Switch 1

2. Conditions: "Player1" brings at most 0 "unit" to "Location".
- Switch 1 is set
Action:
- Give all "unit" owned by "Player3" at "Location" to "Player2".
- Clear Switch 1

If this can be done by multiple players independently then use a death counter (already has 1 count per player) instead of a (global) switch.

Ah, okay! Thanks for the advice! (On both formulating my questions and my triggers).

NudeRaider -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
