Problem with Triggers?

Post » Mon Nov 19, 2012 8:11 am

Hello everyone!

I have been following the tutorials about ambushes, but now i have the problem that the triggerboxes i use....simply don't seem to trigger! I could do it setting two thombambushes, and linking them to a chest. Upon opening the chest the ambushes start. BUt if i do the exact same settup with a triggerbox instead (defaultActivateSelfTRIG) nothing happens at all! Then the ambushes need to be triggered manually by walking up to the draugrs and attacking them. But who would do that?

I am setting up the ambush marker, the monster, the triggerbox. The monster has a masterambushscript, and i set the marker with a patroltime of 1 sec as the only linked reference, and the triggerbox as activate parent of the draugr. I do not use "parent activate only" though.

Am i missing something? Why won't the triggerboxes work? I use them with different scripts and not one of themw orks so it can't be script, it's just that it doesn't seem to even NOTICE that something is passing them, because nothing of it triggers when i walk into. Just for the debugging i tried it with a message that was supposed to appear on triggering the box but it doesn't. What am i doing wrong?

Save your game and reload it, if this does not work start with a clean game and before you go to where the traps are save and reload... I found there is a bug that sometimes effects traps and loading a saved game or player a fresh game including one that was saved before you had the mod created somehow makes the traps work,

?k now SOME seem to work and some don't. Simply reloading doesn't work, creating a new game seems to make it work. Very strange, but i guess something bethesda needs to take a look at.

Some still don't work but that might just be a wrong script or so. Still thanks
