Questions about Triggers and Hidden function

Hi All

I am curious I was testing out something last night on Torque and had a trigger than would turn off the hidden check box on some tsstatic shapes in the level.

I popped up into errors where it worked properly when I set it as hidden in the editor and the trigger worked but then when i ran through the game a few times the objects weren't always hidden and the triggers didn't always trigger the hidden field even though the trigger did run.

I can do it fine in the console no issues.

I was doing this on the onEnter command i usually use a script so is this an issue with the onEnter commands you add into the editor?

Also I have a few sounds setup but I am unsure how to play them in script with the trigger I tried searching but it seems i'm finding an old way to deal with sound which doesn't work in 3.0

Can you post the code you have for trigger. This should be working; I know I had problems with different object types like particles because they use a different command to initiate a hidden function but a simple TSStatic should not be giving any problems unless it is not in range of a raycast that I am assuming you are using.

It's onEnterTrigger, not onEnter....

Sorry yes that's correct richard I was at work (Still am) when i made the post so i had to go off the top of my head as I don't have access to T3D.

I will post the code when I get home but I think it was something simple like: test.setHidden(false);
