Problem

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

Hints

Open the JavaScript console by pressing Ctrl+Shift+J (Mac:Command+Shift+J) and look for error messages.
Check for syntax errors in your code and ensure that interface functions are written correctly.
Check that predefined hooks and functions like e.g. on_trigger() are written correctly. Syntax highlighting and coloring may help you identify these issues.
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.
