Problem with post message

Questions
#1

Hello, I’m a beginner in Defold.
I’m having trouble passing a message to player.script. I can’t figure out what I’m missing.

trigger.script

function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
	if message_id == TRIGGER_RESPONSE then
		if message.other_group == PLAYER then
			if message.enter then
				msg.post("main:/player/player#player", "player_in")
				print("in", message.other_id)
				--self.is_player_near = true
			else
				msg.post("main:/player/player#player", "player_out")
				print("out", message.other_id)
			end
		end
	end
end

player.script

function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
	if message_id == hash("player_in") then
		print("get")
		self.is_interactive = true

	elseif message_id == hash("player_out") then
		self.is_interactive = false
	end
end

The trigger is working, the issue is somewhere in the player
problem

This work fine

forge.script

function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
	if message_id == hash("disable") then
		go.set(".", "scale", vmath.vector3(0))  --  TEST
	end
end

player.script

function interact(self)
	print("interact")
	msg.post("main:/forge/forge#forge", "disable")
end

Can you describe the problem a bit more?
What exactly is failing?

#3

When I’m inside a trigger, the self.is_interactive variable doesn’t become true

#4

And, do you get any info in the logs? Are there any warnings or errors?

#5

problem
No errors, only notifications about entering and exiting the trigger

#6

Set a break point (or add a print(msg.url(), message_id) at the top of the player on_message function to make sure you actually get there.

Thank you, the problem was with the wrong ID (I renamed it and forgot to fix it)
