SSE Properties missing from quest script

[dizietemblesssma]

I have a quest set to be a killactorevent triggered, it has a quest fragment and a script attached, here is the fragment:

 

 

debug.messagebox("kmyQuest.show_murders = "+kmyQuest.show_murders)
If kmyQuest.show_murders == True
Int CrimeStatus = kmyQuest.Crimestatus
If CrimeStatus == 1 || Crimestatus == 0
  If kmyQuest.use_box == 1
   debug.messagebox("You or a follower murdered "+alias_victim.GetReference().GetDisplayName()+", no bounty was incurred")
  Else
   debug.notification("You or a follower murdered "+alias_victim.GetReference().GetDisplayName()+", no bounty was incurred")
  EndIf
EndIf

If CrimeStatus == 2
  If kmyQuest.use_box == 1
   debug.messagebox("You or a follower murdered "+alias_victim.GetReference().GetDisplayName()+", a bounty was incurred")
  Else
   debug.notification("You or a follower murdered "+alias_victim.GetReference().GetDisplayName()+", a bounty was incurred")
  EndIf
EndIf
EndIf
stop()

 

 

 

and here is the script attached to the quest:

 

 

Scriptname dz_crime_murder_notify_script extends Quest 
Actor Property  PlayerRef Auto
Int  Property  CrimeStatus  Auto
ReferenceAlias Property Victim Auto
Bool Property show_murders Auto
Bool Property use_box   AutoEvent OnStoryKillActor(ObjectReference akVictim, ObjectReference akKiller, Location akLocation, Int aiCrimeStatus, Int aiRelationshipRank)
CrimeStatus = aiCrimeStatus
debug.trace("DCL: show_murders bool = "+show_murders)
debug.trace("DCL: use_box bool = "+use_box)
If akLocation
  debug.trace("DCL: "+akVictim.GetDisplayName()+" was killed at "+(akLocation As Form).GetName()+" by "+akKiller.GetDisplayName()+", murder status was "+aiCrimeStatus)
Else
  debug.trace("DCL: "+akVictim.GetDisplayName()+" was killed at an unknown location by "+akKiller.GetDisplayName()+", murder status was "+aiCrimeStatus)
EndIf
  debug.trace("DCL: murder location is "+akLocation)
EndEvent
;;;
;/     akVictim: The ObjectReference that was killed.
    akKiller: The ObjectReference that killed the victim.
    akLocation: The Location where the crime occurred.
    aiCrimeStatus: Has the crime been reported? 0 = No crime Faction for target; 1 = Crime was not reported; 2 = Crime was reported.
    aiRelationshipRank: The relationship between the killer and victim before the crime occurred. Will be one of the following:
        4: Lover
        3: Ally
        2: Confidant
        1: Friend
        0: Acquaintance
        -1: Rival
        -2: Foe
        -3: Enemy
        -4: Archnemesis /;

 

according to another MCM quest script that I have I am able to sucessfully change the values of 'show_murders' and 'use_box' properties in the above script, but in game testing it clearly isn't the case, perhaps because in xedit those two properties are missing.:)

 

So a) should those properties show up in xedit?

b) can a second - MCM - script access properties on another quest script, if that script only runs on a story manager event?
