[LE] Setstage trigger not firing

[MesaSolar]

This feels like a really stupid question, but I'm a little stuck at the moment.

Using a defaultsetstagetriggerplayeronly to set a stage in a quest line.

 

Selected the right quest.

Used the prereq stage for 80

And setstage for 81

 

But when I enter the trigger it doesn't fire. I can manually set the stage with a console command and that works. So not sure what the problem is. I'm not using the trigger box as an alias at the moment. So that shouldn't be an issue.

Post your script code as "defaultsetstagetriggerplayeronly" does not seem to be a base game script.

[MesaSolar]

Trigger name: defaultSetStageTRIGPlayerOnly from vanilla triggers.

scriptname defaultSetStageTrigSCRIPT extends objectReference

{ this is a generic script for one-shot quest stage updates}

import game

import debug

quest property myQuest 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 || MyQuest.getStageDone(prereqStageOPT) == 1

; Start the quest just in case it isn't already running.

if myQuest.isRunning() == FALSE

bool check = myQuest.start()

; do a quick check in case the quest could not be started

if !check

; debug.trace("ERROR: "+myQuest+" not started by "+self)

endif

endif

; do the actual business of setting the stage we want

myQuest.setStage(stage)

if doOnce

gotoState("hasBeenTriggered")

endif

if disableWhenDone

Disable()

endif

endif

endif

endEVENT

endSTATE

STATE hasBeenTriggered

; this is an empty state.

endSTATE

Make sure the properties are filled correctly. Test on a new game just to rule out any mid-game save issues getting in the way. Other than that, I cannot think of any reason why said script would not work as intended.

[MesaSolar]

Not sure why this was an issue but what ended up fixing it was enlarging the triggerbox to make it taller and deeper even though it was placed on the ground around a door marker. Weird.

[IsharaMeradin]

The trigger volume box does need to be big enough for the entire target object to enter. So if it is the player, it has to be taller and a bit wider / deeper than the size of a door marker.
