Is there anyway to disable the trigger_delay at the very start of the map?
The trigger_start just wont work, it enables the trigger_delay at the start of the map.
I wanna make a disabled delay(lets say delay A) and make it trigger'able' for another looping delay(B & C). Then when you walk to a specific location(trigger_move), the trigger_move enables delay A, then B & C will be able to trigger delay A.
No lua please.

To do that you need lua,, another way is impossible.
btw if you learn lua you can make better maps, really.

Should I come back and make one last map for CS2D?

I lol'd actually.
Just don't use the trigger start. Why would you want to trigger something with a start trigger when you don't want to trigger it.
You DONT need lua.
Edit: Lulz wtf, reading your post better I have no idea what you're talking about. Explain better. Damn tired, but this is what he wants, if I'm not mistaken.
A delay that triggers delay B and C?
A move that triggers delay A.
To be honest, I think I'm wrong otherwise he wouldn't be asking.

First, trigger_move triggers the disabled delay A, and then, delay A was triggered by a looping delay B and C because delay A was enabled.
I just need to know how to disable/enable the delay.

The trigger_move must trigger both A,B, and C then your B and C will trigger A
So I will give you this:
Make sure to keep track of the brackets.
(Trigger_Move [A,{B,C}])
As you can see A, B and C are inside the brackets of trigger_move meaning they are triggered at the same time. So it leaves B and C to start their loop to trigger A. While B and C are simply triggering themselves making a loop.
--------------------------------------------------
To loop delay B and C they must trigger themselves!!
Ex:
Trigger_Delay
Name: iamb
Trigger: iamb

Doesn't work for me, maybe I did something wrong, but can you explain it in a form like this and send it to me via PM:
(TriggerName)
Name:
Trigger:
(TriggerName)

It should work. Well is this for a door or something?
Oh right did I forget to mention that you may use trigger_start to trigger B and C?

I want to know (maybe I didn't understand you) if you want to do this:
trigger_move = M
trigger_delay A = A
trigger_delay B = B
trigger_delay C = C
so:
M triggers A
A triggers B
B triggers C
C triggers A
A triggers B and so on
if you want that, you can do it without lua.
But if you want to stop the infinite loop, then you need lua. (or another delay to reset the timer every time)
trigger_move = M
trigger_delay A = A
trigger_delay B = B
trigger_delay C = C
so:
M triggers A
A triggers B
B triggers C
C triggers A
A triggers B and so on

It's for a "something", not door.
Just post it again using the form I given.
Edit:
Again.. Doesn't work.
The two object which is triggered by delay A, B, C, appears at the same time.
Alright, seems you all don't get it, I will just say the whole story,
SPOILER ALERT!

That wasn't for a door, I used this system to make the attacks of the K virus (The terrorist encounter and the final boss)

if you want sort of a looping style like i did do this
trigger_start/move/hit - (A)trigger_once & lights sprite & items or manneequips(as you say) - trigger_delay(b)(10) trigger_delay(c/d)(20) - triggers lights off
this will turn the lights off in 10 seconds & turn them on in 20
trigger_delay(d)(2) - triggers delay b that will automaticly trigger B after the seconds pass... if done right it will loop
Thats what i use for my NPC spawn

I understood this:
The delay B and C triggers a light on and off (infinite loop)
when you are in front of the door, you activate the delay A, that delay activates monsters (mannequins whatever), but they appear only if the lights are off, otherwise they appear later (when the delay turns off the light)
if I understood right, You need lua

just don't trigger the monsters with delay A, lua does

If you want to avoid triggering the trigger "A" at start just don't trigger it, the trigger won't be activated but it'll remain on the map. If you want to trigger B and C then do the following.
Create entities with trigger_delay with these values.
Name: A
Value: a1
Name: B
Value: b1,c1
It's really simple to work with triggers... just try and you'll understand.

Thank you all for your help, I really appreciate it
I'll credit you guys.
Edit:
@Unknown Soldier After removing the examples you given in the lua, I started a server with the correct delay and triggers, it says
The lua I edited:
(They are in space form, it looks confusing here, I just tried TAB but it doesn't work for me :))
Btw, the player must be infront of a dynwall(lets say D), which is a door, the player was actually standing on a trigger_move infront of the door, and it triggers the mannequin when the lights are off.
If you finished this code, please make 5 times of this.
Thank you.
