SetMessage not working? - Verkehr - 07-14-2017

I made a simple script so far for my custom story where, after picking up a note, it (should) show a message. Though the message doesn't show up! Everything else works good so far, the .lang file is also working. Can someone help me? :/

Map Script:

Code:
void OnStart()

{  

    AddUseItemCallback("", "keyStart", "doorStart", "startUnlock", true); //Working

    SetEntityCallbackFunc("note-1!room-start", "aftern1rs"); //Not working :(

}

void aftern1rs(string &in asEntity, string &in OnPickup)

{

    SetMessage("Message", "msg-note-1!room-start", 0);

}

.lang Script:

Code:
    <CATEGORY Name="Message">

        <Entry Name="msg-note-1!room-start">I should be careful with the given items, looks like this man wants to challenge me.</Entry>

    </CATEGORY>

Okay, to point out, I fixed the dash and exclamation mark glitch. The message is still not showing though... (replaced with "_")

Could you update your previous script to show how it looks with the updated "_"?
(Not that I cannot imagine it myself, but I want you to show that you did it correctly)

Things to look out for when strings in the .lang file doesn't show up:

Category and Entry names are correct
If all entries from the file don't show up there is a syntax error somewhere in the file. You have to find it and fix it.

Okay, I'll post here the updated version.

Map Code

Code:
void OnStart()

{  

    AddUseItemCallback("", "keyStart", "doorStart", "startUnlock", true);

    SetEntityCallbackFunc("note_1_room_start", "aftern1rs");

}

void aftern1rs(string &in asEntity, string &in OnPickup)

{

    SetMessage("Message", "msg_note_1_room_start", 0);

}

.lang Code

Code:
    <CATEGORY Name="Message">

        <Entry Name="msg_note_1_room_start">I should be careful with the given items, looks like this man wants to challenge me.</Entry>

    </CATEGORY>

I just wanted to excuse myself, I found it. The names didn't match from the note in the map and in the script. I was for a long time not editing, so I need to get back to the basics.
