put them in a trigger "On Activation" box or in a script

example:
Quote
A Trigger
Activation: none
Condition: count units player == 1
On Activation: [west,"HQ"] sidechat format ["Jesus %1, get your ass home!", name player]

you have a lot of options

if you want only the player to trigger it the first time he passes through it, just group the trigger to the player.
