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

You can change this now in User CP.

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.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
