Im not doing something right here, so help...

Right, basically i got a mission where you are not allowed to be detected for the 1st part, but after that you can engage. Ive set it up so that;
 "3"objstatus "failed" when west is detected by east and f1=true.

on condition f1, ten seconds later, hq gives you an evac point and tell u that u screwed up.

Thats all fine and well as that goes, but its the next part that is causing the problem. I want after certain event (war is declared whilst you are out gathering intel, so it no longer matters if u get detected(otherwise it'd be 2 hard 2 complete)) it doesnt matter if u get detected....so i want to disable this trigger. Ive tried setting it up so that the condition is:
this* and (not v3)

*west detected by east , v3=the trigger that happens when war is declared.

I guess im not doing the boolean logic right coz it doesnt work, even if i plant myself next gto a guy and let him shoot me down it doesnt fail the objective.

and i dont want the vehicles you are gatehring intel on to move if you fail, so i did a trigger condition: v2(the usual trigger for them 2 start moving, thats all ok) and  (not f1)

so: v2 and (not f1);

this doesnt work, the vehicles just stay where they are when v2 is activated even when youve not been detected

Somewhere in the init (or init.sqs) set F1 = true

Have youre triggers like

West detected east > This && f1

for being sneaky

And when "war is delared" put;

F1 = false

In an activation somewhere.  This will stop youre first trigger going off after war is declared.
