A couple of basic trigger questions.

[Ragtop 1]

I've watched quite a few videos on the use of triggers and I'm getting alright with them but struggling with a couple of questions.

I'm doing a basic rescue mission where I join and lead two downed pilots, then get them aboard a new helo to extract them. All is working fine except a couple of basic bits.

When they get aboard the helo I want the task to complete, and then notify me that they have safely been extracted. The extraction helo is called pickup and the pilots are Pilot_1 and Pilot_2. I've set up a trigger with the condition as (Pilot_1 in pickup) AND (Pilot_2 in pickup)

To test this is working I entered the following into the On Act field of the trigger: hint "Pilots are onboard, great work"

It works perfectly, but when I sync the trigger to the Set task state - Completed module, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? I have a similar task set up earlier in the mission, where I escort the pilots from the area, by using a Blue Force Not Present trigger, synced to the set task succeeded, which works fine. I can't figure out why one works and the other doesn't, even though the trigger is firing.

My other question is about a mission failure.

I have a trigger set up with the condition (!Alive Pilot_1) AND (!Alive Pilot_2), and the Type as Lose, with the effects panel set to play a sound and white out. When the pilots are killed, I simply get the "Mission completed" screen. Am I doing something wrong here?
