triggeraction/callnpc barrier

[G_yoshi]

Why am I unable to do a triggeraction with params to one NPC that will do a triggeraction back with params? I've tried the combination of doing triggeraction and responding with callnpc but nothing happens. The purpose of this is to create something of a pathnode system which I can send NPCs to run along. I'm sure there are better ways of having an NPC get from point A to point B. This is just the way I chose.

*note
This is a crude script at the moment. All I'm doing is testing my idea without too much success .

<sending NPC>

NPC Code:

---

...



if (timeout) {



  for (lag=0; lag<10; lag++) {

    if (dir==3) {

      //showimg lag,brick.png,x+lag+vecx(dir)*2,y+1+vecy(dir)*2;

      triggeraction x+lag+vecx(dir)*2,y+1+vecy(dir)*2,path,#v(id),#v(l  ag);

    }

    sleep .1;

  }

  timeout = 0.45;

}



if (node) {

  setcharprop #c,PING!;

  distx = strtofloat(#p(0));

  disty = strtofloat(#p(1));

  disttime = strtofloat(#s(path.latency));

}

<recieving NPC>

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

  setshape 1,48,48;

  dontblock;

}



if (actionpath) {

  setstring path.npcindex,#p(0);

  setstring path.latency,#p(1);

  setcharprop #c,FOUND!;

  //play quickbm.wav;

  callnpc strtofloat(#s(path.npcindex)),node,#v(x),#(y);

}

'lag' is used to determine the actual time distance (in tiles). The 'recieving NPC' works. I just can't get the sender to respond to the callnpc sent to it. showimg is so I know where its triggering :]
