HELP PLEASE! Triggers for opening gates with levers

Hi everyone! Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a gate on a fortress, and inside the fortress I have two levers. On one lever I have a trigger that when the lever dies, the gate will open and the lever will resurrect. The other lever closes the gate. This system works just fine, and I can open and close the gate using the levers with no problem.

The problem is that if another player destroys my gate, all I have to do is hit one of the levers again and it resurrects my gate. I can't figure out how to make this not happen.
I've tried making a condition where the lever checks to see if the gate is alive first before opening and closing it, and I've also tried setting a trigger where when the gate is destroyed, it also removes the levers. But both of these triggers mess up my original triggers for some strange reason. They make it so that once I hit the levers to open or close the gate, the levers no longer resurrect. I don't know how to fix it.

I've attached pictures of my triggers.

Thanks so much for your help!

So if you want levers to be only functional while the gate exists you could do: remake triggers to account for 'dead' destructible or just simply make a variable with a trigger which goes like this
Event - Destructible destroyed
Condition - Destroyed obj is your gate
Action - set gateDead = true
Then you check if gate is dead in the lever open trigger or wherever

This won't work because the gate is destroyed by opening it, so you would never be able to close your gates.
There is another problem: you can open and close the gates quickly to heal them back to 100%.

I think you need to do two things:
1) remember the health of a gate when it is opened via lever, and restore it when closing it with the lever
2) have a second trigger that fires when the gate is destroyed, and which first disables the lever triggers, then destroys the lever. Disable this trigger before you open the gate with the lever, and enable it again when the gate is opened.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
