OK as you all know I am working on Starcraft Fortress. And I encountered something really stupid, at least I think it's stupid not me 
...
I need a teleporter system, few triggers actually. Probe builds a pylon and it is replaced with disabled cannon(teleporter entrance). Then build another pylon which is teleporter exit. The trigger is for offence packs(p3,4,7,8) so I'll write it as p3...
Ok this far everything works fine but there comes the "stupid" part...
(Force1,2 is team red)
The first one runs but the second one never runs, I mean WTF is wrong. No other switches or probably anything else is used. IM just confused and to be honest I am making this stupid trigger whole day already

Try taking the display text out. I have had problems that for some reason the display text actions would stop the rest of my triggers from running and causing other triggers to not work correctly.

It's actually stupid enough to try
ADDITION:
No, I removed display text from first trigger but the second still didn't run. Come on brainiacs, HELP ME

So, the second trigger is supposed to run after you remove/kill the exit, right?
Just a suggestion, but try using a resource or a unit at a location instead of a switch for testing purposes; you can see these things. Isolate the problem of what conditions are being set and which ones are not.
Also, make sure all hypers are below it
Lots of my problems have ended that way, lol

Nice advice man, thanks.
OK, the switch(unit in this case) worked and both triggers were preserved and worked over and over again. Except the text display. the first one runs, but the second doesn't and when preserved the first doesn't run either.
Any ideas, what is wrong and how to get my texts right? I will need a lot of them later in triggers...
Ok, I just found out what was in the way of text, but I still don't get why. I had neutral players in force 1,2 for testing, when I replaced them with human players the texts just run perfectly. I have no idea what was wrong, and Im afraid of this could happen when human slots wouldn't be empty... Gona test with comp players.

Neutral players are pretty ..... extremely screwy when you use triggers on them. sc just odesnt like it.
i dont know about the text. I thought u removed it at the start or somethig?
