Why will this scrip do nothing?

[bagelfromhell]

Whenever i walk into the trigger box nothing happens

 

 

scriptname ParastasQuestStage30 extends objectReference
{ this is a generic script for one-shot quest stage updates}

import game
import debug

quest property ParastasQ auto	
{ quest to call SetStage on}

int property stage auto
{ stage to set}

bool property doOnce = True auto
{Set the stage only once.}

int property prereqStageOPT = -1 auto
{ OPTIONAL: stage that must be set for this trigger to fire }

bool property disableWhenDone = true auto
{ disable myself after I've been triggered. Defaults to true }


auto STATE waitingForPlayer
EVENT onTriggerEnter(objectReference triggerRef)
	if triggerRef == getPlayer() as actor
		; check to see if a pre-req stage was specificed and if it's been met
		if prereqStageOPT == -1 || ParastasQ.getStageDone(10) == 1
			; Start the quest just in case it isn't already running.
			if ParastasQ.isRunning() == FALSE
				bool check = ParastasQ.start()
				; do a quick check in case the quest could not be started
				if !check
; 						debug.trace("ERROR: "+ParastasQ+" not started by "+self)
				endif
			endif
			
			; do the actual business of setting the stage we want
			ParastasQ.setStage(30)
			if doOnce
				gotoState("hasBeenTriggered")
			endif
			if disableWhenDone
				Disable()
			endif
		endif
	endif
endEVENT
endSTATE

STATE hasBeenTriggered
; this is an empty state.
endSTATE

if ParastasQ.isRunning() == FALSE
                                       bool check = ParastasQ.start()
                                       ; do a quick check in case the quest could not be started
                                       if !check
;                                               debug.trace("ERROR: "+ParastasQ+" not started by "+self)
                                       endif
                               endif

 

If you remove this part the script works?

A few question before messing. Do you want this trigger to run only once?

 

Do you want the quest to start and make the trigger fire even if it's not started?

It'd be less confusing to the player if we had the trigger start the quest even if they did not have it active before + if it was not active the player would be stuck unless they used a coc command. So yes even if the quest is not started i would like it to start it
