If there's no crash/error message and the player or nothing is happening to the beam, the problem may be the script areas. move them closer or make sure the names match PERFECTLY. Also, you can't have "void" in the parameters of a function. That won't fix the problem, but you should be crashing because of it.

"void GiveSanityBoostSmall();" at the bottom of the script should be "GiveSanityBoostSmall();".... And if I'm not mistaken, this function needs an amount in it. e.g. GiveSanityBoostSmall(20);.... otherwise, just completely change the function to GiveSanityBoost();

'None - I still can't get it to work, 'I changed the names of the script-areas in respective order to 'fallbeam_2', 'fallbeam_3' and 'fallbeam_4', 'and changed the state to 'Only Enter'. 'I can't get it to work, I rescaled them and moved them closer, 'but, it won't work. 'Could the scripted areas be interferring with the other entities and props I've in my corridor that sides the wooden beam? 'It just gets repetetive, 'I don't feel like scrapping this idea. 'Any advice?

'It works fine in-game, 'and I don't get any lag or crash-messages. 'But I don't understand why the script won't work...

You have a bunch of wrong function names and issues, I've noticed... I'll try to clear this up for you. Could you repost what you have in your .hps as of right now?
