Build a Waygate Problem

I've been trying to solve this problem for a while now. Even after posting this problem down at war3sear.ch all the solutions offerred did not work. My problem may sound simple but it is infinitely more annoying than it looks.

You see I have a map perfectly split in half. One side is completely full of destructibles (absolutely every space filled), the other is relatively free of obstructions.
I want to be able to create a trigger so that when I build a waygate on the side free of destructibles, a random point will be selected within the side full of destructibles and the destructibles at that point will be destroyed, then a new waygate will be created there and will link back to the built waygate. Simple as that.

The real problem here is that I can't get the resulting two waygates to be linked together via 'set waygate destination'.

This approach will work but WON'T link the gates together:

Waygate Trigger
Events
Unit - A unit Finishes construction
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Waygate
Actions
Set WayGatePoint = (Random point in WayGateRegion <gen>)

Destructible - Pick every destructible within 500.00 of WayGatePoint and do (Destructible - Kill (Picked destructible))

Unit - Create 1 Waygate for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at WayGatePoint facing Default building facing degrees

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 50.00 of WayGatePoint matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Waygate)) and do (Neutral Building - Set (Triggering unit) destination to (Position of (Picked unit)))

A variable 'WayGatePoint' and a region 'WayGateRegion' are used.

Can anyone help me out here?
 
Here's my first stab at it:

Waygate Trigger
Events
Unit - A unit Finishes construction
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Waygate
Actions
Set WayGatePoint = (Random point in WayGateRegion <gen> )

Destructible - Pick every destructible within 500.00 of WayGatePoint and do (Destructible - Kill (Picked destructible))

Unit - Create 1 Waygate for (Owner of (Constructed structure)) at WayGatePoint facing Default building facing degrees

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 50.00 of WayGatePoint matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Waygate)) and do (Neutral Building - Set (Constructed structure) destination to (Position of (Picked unit)))

Also if it was me I would increase the radius in that last line a little, maybe up to 100 or something.

    Mayo also has vinegar. Vinegar is a very important part of it, it's effectively a delivery method FOR vinegar but hidden

    It's a neat ingredient. But yeah it's eggs. But a LOT of people think eggs count as dairy because of the fucking food pyramid the US keeps trying to make a thing
  • Varine Varine:
    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
