Well, to answer your question, it happens because you made a mistake. What kind of mistake? I'll start by giving you a list of things that cause this to happen: Let's say you did this: Trigger_1: Condition=Always Trigger_2: Condition= Always (or Timer) Trigger_1 and Trigger_2 are looped. If you do this, you'll basically wipe out all your trigger work. If you have around 10 Timer Triggers all active at the same time, all related to cinematics (like all of them dialogue or camera tracks), you might experience this problem. These are the reasons I know of so far. So how do you solve this? Gah, I have 400 triggers, how will I find these bugged triggers? - Start from the bottom and delete ten triggers. Make sure not to save. Test it. If it works, then go back, reload the scn, and the problem should be within those 10 triggers. - If this doesn't work, go through the last 50 and make sure that no "Active" trigger is set where its not supposed to. - Look for sound triggers and dialogue triggers: they are mostly the cause for the problem. - Repeat the procedure with the next 50 until you find the solution to your problem. But usually it is your last triggers that causes it. Always test your scn. Instead of creating 100 triggers than testing it, test it after you've done ten. That way, if you have the problem, it won't affect you too much while you try to fix it. Also, make sure to avoid the problems suggested above. Don't use the "loop" function too much. I prefer using the Fire event effect more. Gaurdian_112 [This message has been edited by Gaurdian_112 (edited 12-06-2003 @ 09:07 AM).]
It has come to my attention that alot of you are experiencing the "Triggers stop working" problem. I'm going to help you fix this problem, and tell you what leads to this problem.
Effect= Soundfilename
Fire Event=Trigger_2
Effect= Soundfilename
Fire Event=Trigger_1
) have asked this question already.
