Why won't this script fire a story manager quest node?

[15gudasc]

Hello, this script is attached to a custom flare gun explosion. When it fires, it's supposed to launch a quest via a story manager node. But each time I fire the flare in game, I get the debug failure message below.

event OnInit()
    utility.wait(1.0)
    if LGMIAFlareGunStart.SendStoryEventAndWait(akLoc = GetCurrentLocation(), akRef1 = self)
            debug.Notification("Flare Tracker Quest Started!")
        Else
            debug.MessageBox("Flare Tracker Quest didn't start")    
    endif
endEvent

Here are images of the story manager node and quest data. https://imgur.com/a/aycJDUZ

Despite the story manager node not having any conditions, and despite the quest's first stage to run on start, it just isn't running.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Have you tried it without parameters, will it send at all? Or try the non wait version. 

Also, are you sure your properties are filled in the CK?

The most likely issue is that you have alias(es) in the quest that are not marked as optional and are either empty or failing to fill.

Yep, that was it! I should make a habit of always ensuring aliases are optional. Thank you!
