Again, left-alignement helps thinking about and reading patches. See the subpatch for a solution without pipe - and without triggers as well.

[unpack 0 0 0] already has three outlets that, just like [t f f f] fire from left to right, so triggering explicitly is not needed.
Oops. Please invert: "just like [t f f f] fires from right to left".
