Problem

JavaScript is not functioning as intended. No corresponding action happens when the trigger button for the event is pressed.

Hints

  1. Open the JavaScript console by pressing Ctrl+Shift+J (Mac:Command+Shift+J) and look for error messages.
  2. Check for syntax errors in your code and ensure that interface functions are written correctly.
  3. Check that predefined hooks and functions like e.g. on_trigger() are written correctly. Syntax highlighting and coloring may help you identify these issues.
  4. When resolving widgets, verify the used widgets address (e.g. "/mxw/render/opacity") and make sure that it is valid. To find the correct address, maybe refer to the list of address suggestions available in the 'Receiver' menu.
