Do you know for sure that the trigger is firing correctly?     I mean have you checked it with a hint or something.

hmm how do i check it with a hint i usually dont use hints and also doesnt it usualy give you a hint automatically when it does work

[SickSidewinder]

add in the On activation field:
hint "Is this working?"

and u said u had the trigger activation set to none? that might be the problem right there
nothing is activating it
try: anybody present, and make it as big as the whole map

how do i check it with a hint

In triggers on activation line:
hint "It worked" (Don't remove the quotes)
"It worked" = the hint message you want displayed on screen.

doesnt it usualy give you a hint automatically when it does work

No

Edit

I don't think that should be nessecary... atlest I've never had to do anything as drastic as that ...Just put your condition in the condition field and it should work fine ;D.

Try changing the trigger type from "Switch" to "none". In my experience you should only use Switch if you are using the trigger to switch between waypoints etc.

Lots of good suggestions there.    The important thing is to establish exactly where the problem is:   the hint helps you achieve that.

Using hints as a debugging tool is a very powerful technique.   They are very useful for letting you know what is going on in a mission, whether it be a trigger being fired, or an AI group reaching a waypoint or whatever you like.

Hints never occur automatically, you have to use the hint command.    Obviously you take thedebugging hints out before you release the mission to the public.
