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).

O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- below the minimap should be a thing that says "Overlay Settings" with a little + button in the corner, press the + to expand it, uncheck Use Defaults, then change "Tile Overlay" to "Height"
