Trigger box troubles

[DirtieHippie]

I know this forum isn't a modding troubles forum specifically. But I like the community here better then others.

 

Anyways, I have been trying to create a new mod related to paradise halls. And I can't seem to get the trigger box that suppose to start the initial quest to work. If anybody has some suggestions to get this to work I'd appreciate it. I have been struggling with this problem for days and it is extremely annoying.

 

In my new cell I choose a random object and created a new trigger. I expanded the trigger primitive to take up a large part of the room. The trigger object has  a unique name, all of the rotations are set to 1 (an online source said there was a bug that triggers with the rotations set to 0 won't work), and the player activation box is checked. The script has the properties pointing to the quest and the player. And here is the script.

 

 

Scriptname PAHHippieStartSlaveShipQuestScript extends ObjectReference
{The start of the Slave Ship Quest}

int RunOnce
Quest Property PAHHippieSlaveShipQuest Auto
Actor Property PlayerREF Auto

Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionREF)
If akActionREF == PlayerREF
Debug.messagebox("Activated")
If RunOnce == 0
PAHHippieSlaveShipQuest.Start()
PAHHippieSlaveShipQuest.SetStage(0)
PAHHippieSlaveShipQuest.SetObjectiveDisplayed(0)
RunOnce = 1
EndIf
EndIf
EndEvent

 

 

I added the debug message box line to see if the trigger box wasn't working or if the quest starting code wasn't working.

 

I must be missing something obvious. But I have read online tutorials and suggestions from other places until my eyes are bleeding.

You don't need 'Player Activation' checked, non of mine are and they work fine. I didn't check any boxes at all actually, all I did was set the size, name it and make the scripts.

Thanks. I'll give that a go. That was one of the many suggestions I have read about.

Thanks Veladarius. All the tutorials and suggestion I read said the player activation box was deathly important. But thanks to your suggestion I unchecked it and changed the collision geometry to L_TRIGGER, and it fired off right when the player walked through as it's suppose to. Now I can finally move on with the rest of the quest creation.

You are a scholar and a gentleman.
