TFS 1.X+ [TFS 1.4.2] Movements script not working

[GraveWalker]

Hello, TFS community,

I've been facing a persistent issue with a MoveEvent script in TFS 1.4.2. Despite trying multiple solutions, I still encounter the following error message when attempting to use a simple script:

[Error - MoveEvent::configureMoveEvent] Missing event
[Warning - BaseEvents::loadFromXml] Failed to configure event

Here's the script I've been working on, which should print "Test script works!" to the server console when a player steps on a tile with the specified actionid (6000):

function onStepIn(creature, item, position, fromPosition)
    if not creature:isPlayer() then
        return true
    end

    print("Test script works!")
    return true
end

And here's the MoveEvent registration in the movements.xml file:

<movevent type="StepIn" actionid="6000" script="test_script.lua" />

I have ensured the following:

• The script file is located in the data/movements/scripts folder.
• The file path specified in the movements.xml file is correct.
• The actionid is set on a tile using the map editor.
• The server is restarted after making changes to the script or configuration files.

Despite these efforts, the script doesn't work, and the error message persists. I have also tried using itemid and uniqueid instead of actionid, but with no luck.

I would appreciate any insights or suggestions from the community to help resolve this issue. Please let me know if you require any additional information about my TFS setup.

Note: I've made this post again as my previous one is still "Awaiting approval before being displayed publicly." after four hours of waiting.

Thank you in advance!

is event not type.

<movevent event="StepIn" actionid="6000" script="test_script.lua" />

<movevent type="StepIn" actionid="6000" script="test_script.lua" />

to

<movevent event="StepIn" actionid="6000" script="test_script.lua" />

next time just look at how other events are coded:

Yeah, after looking at the XML again, when you mentioned it being: (Before editing)

<event type="StepIn" actionid="6000" script="test_script.lua" />

is event not type.

<movevent event="StepIn" actionid="6000" script="test_script.lua" />

I've noticed that instead of:

type="StepIn"

It should have been:

event="StepIn"

Unlucky typo, I suppose, but I much appreciate the help from both of you.

Thank you kindly to both of you!
