I'll give it a try tonight.
As it is, Boblishman pointed out that my journals are not working either.......why? because I forgot to go back and add:
to everyone of my freakin journals.......sigh. Why oh why did we have to add this? 'Twas working just fine without it.

Clickables never worked well for me in the GoW plugin without being pinned. I don't think anything changed there. Robert's conversion wizards have set that property on my clickables from the beginning. So I have always tried to use pinned faithfully after I noticed that.
Clickables seem to have a mind of their own though.

Gave the new one a try. No error exporting this time. But no joy either. I still can't click on the crystals.
Also, even after adding the pinned property to my journals, that still don't work either....and they DID WORK JUST FINE before the 1.3.2 plugin.....
:shrugging: I've not changed anything as far as they go.

Just checking, but are your bounds set to Convex Hull?

yah, I noticed that the Tutorial said to set them to that (which SUCKS for me, as I almost always use Static Mesh), but yes, I changed the bounds, on the clickables AND the regions.
No joy.

I guess we'll have to look at your Zephyr_Cove.age.log to find out what goes wrong. Can you post it here?

No need. Just figured it all out: Pages.
You click region MUST be on the same page number as your clickable object. The moment I tired that, BINGO, my crystals became clickable. now the sound isn't playing, but I think I know why on that.
Now my journals. My region still didn't have bounds set on it. I changed them to Convex Hull (rolling eyes here), and bam, my journals went back to being clickable again.
I guess we haven't had a need to mention that clickables and their regions must be on the same page number as no one has run into this problem...until now, hehe.

Yes, pretty much every object that has to interact with another object must be in the same page. Lights will only affect objects in the same page, object references such as clickable regions either must be in the same page, or explicitly specify which page the target is in. This should probably simply be put somewhere as a general principle of building. Only separate objects which have no connection to each other into different pages.

Exploring Cyan prps with PrpExplorer, I noticed all objects have the same page number along with an object name.
I guess Plasma uses both when referencing an object.

Heres a wild idea, have you put in that clickfilex attribute in the logic properties?
Oh and when you figured it out, can ya let the rest of us know what the end script was as I too have to have clickable crystals, but not directly, so a a question would be, is it possible to attach a clickable script to an invisible collision or invisible mesh?
