• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Proximity Trigger - Help

Hi guys,

I am playing with developing a mission, however I have a problem.

I have started the mission with an intro dialog with timmer trigger, then added a dialog upon take-off with a condition (alt), My next step was to add a proximity trigger and area definition.

However when ever I add a prox trigger, and go to test my mission at that point, the initial triggers fails,

anyone got any idea what i've missed ?

Thanks in advance:)

Do you have an action associated with that prox trigger? If not, the whole mission will screw up. For all triggers, you need to have some kind of action connected to it. Try adding a simple dialog or something to act as confirmation and see if that works.
 
If the intro dialog fails, there is an error in your mission file. When you create a proximity trigger, you need to associate an Area Definition to it. If this is missing when you save and test the mission, nothing will work.

It is good to keep backups of your XML file. It can be frustrating to finding these errors. If you keep frequent backups, you can start again from your last backup. Also test often, and use a intro dialog so you will know right away when you have a problem. It makes it easer to backtrack to find errors.

Yes, I have attached a dialog "OnEnterAction" to the proximity triger and also attached a defined "Area"

My mission (only the start of a mission) works untill I add a proximity trigger then nothing seems to work.
 
Thanks for the replies Guys :)

I'm still not sure exactly what I had wrong, but after a remake It works now.

Good tip on the debug option too TY :)
