What do you mean by being able to preserve the trigger?

and example that occurs me now, a trigger: if you move a unit ("unit-archer" for example) to an X location ({45,32}), then play a wav file. In normal conditions you would move the archer to square 45,32 and a wav file should be played, but only one time, if you move away that archer and then you put em back in the square 45,32 nothing happens anymore, in starcraft for example adding the preserve trigger condition, the trigger least during the entire game, and in that example, anytime you move an archer to the square the wav file will be played.
