Interaction-Triggered Drama Nodes
I'm creating a mod that allows me to organise individual lighting objects into any of 1-10 groups ('presets') by adding statistics, then allowing me to select eg. 'turn on preset 1' and all lights on the lot under preset 1 turn on etc. I have finished this part of the mod - the manual part - and all lights can be grouped, and groups turned on/off.
I now want to make it possible to set a time for certain groups to automatically turn on/off. I wanted to create an interaction on lighting objects where you can select to 'automate turn on time' for a specific preset, which then triggers a multi-response dialog drama node where you can choose from several possible times. These would then set all lot objects in a given preset to a specific statistic value (corresponding to that time). I want to later add other drama nodes for each time of day to trigger an on/off loot on all lights that have that time's corresponding stat value, however, I'm stuck at the setting automated time part.
I mostly understand how to create drama nodes, and have tried to schedule the below drama node in a loot action triggered by an immediate interaction (ie. 'set automated turn on time for preset 1'). This interaction does show up in game but the drama node is not triggered. I have tried a number of variations ie. changing 'dialog_style' to chance card/adding a title/adding age test under sim info, and it won't work, please help!!

The loot to schedule this drama node is referenced under 'outcome'->'single'->'loot_list', in the immediate interaction.
