Unit Enters Region

I have a trigger which uses the event 'a unit enters a region', and then displays a text message to all players. The problem is that if I enter the region, then leave and go back in, it shows the message the first time, but not any time subsequent to that. Anyone got any idea what gives? Thanks in advance :)

It should work just fine. See my attached example.

The problem must be in your trigger. If you could paste it here we'll see what's wrong.

Because you create and destroyed 'All player'. The player group is not supposed to be destroyed because it doesn't leak. Just a guess.

These are the triggers dealing directly with the regions. The events to the triggers containing chat strings are added at map initialization by another trigger.

Here are the other triggers, since they turn on/off various others. But I'm sure the necessary triggers are left ON at the end.

there are others referring to specifics regarding the area, but they don't turn any triggers on or off. So, anyone able to see the problem? :( Thanks for the help ^^

EDIT: I know I destroyed TempGroup twice. Ignore it :p

I know double post, but;

To explain, just in case, what I want is for the trigger 'ants nest stand on entry region' to be on as standard. Ants nest during reset (off at initialisation) should be turned on during Ants Nest victory or reset, whilst stand on entry region is off. But this doesn't seem to be the case. Even just having the first trigger enabled and not the rest, it only occurs once.

You shouldn't add Players into group and destroy them...
Try this:
Code: 
    Set TempPlayerGroup = ......
    Game - Display to TempPlayerGroup the text: Please wait up to a...
    Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempPlayerGroup)

It is, the problem with adding players/units to player groups / unit groups is that the groups have to exist beforehand in order to work.
if you destroy a group with custom text to prevent leaks you really destroy that group. You cannot add anything to the group afterwards.
You would need to create a new group first by setting the variable to a group.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
