misson doesn't get triggered

[daggs1]

Greetings,

I'm working on a small storyline that is triggered by a specific case of an existing job in the game, here is the existing job: https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/blob/master/data/remnant/remnant jobs.txt#L112 and here is what I'm trying to do:

mission "test: Expanded Horizons Astral job"
        invisible
        name "Research Expedition to <waypoints>"
        description "Travel to <waypoints> with a Research Laboratory to collect data, then return to <destination>."
        source
                government "Remnant"

        waypoint "Al Hurr"

        to offer
                has "remnant: ssil vida deactivation"
                has "remnant: ssil vida activation"
                has "Remnant: Expanded Horizons Astral 2: done"
                random < 25

        on offer
                require "Research Laboratory"

        on waypoint
                dialog "Your scientist unpacks the laboratory and takes the requested observations. A short while later, they have the data compiled on a set of data crystals and inform you that everything is ready for departure."
        on complete
                payment 500000
                "reputation: Remnant" ++
                dialog "When you land, a researcher quickly retrieves the data crystals with the information about the surveyed system and hands you the logistics allotment of <payment>."
                event "test: start" 30

I'm not getting any syntax error, I've tried entering the job center on different landing sites for 10 minutes and didn't saw the job.
I even matched the to offer conditions to the existing job and still no dice.
can anyone help me understand what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks

Al Hurr is a hidden system, so it may have something to do with that.

in my saved game, Al Hurr is visible. in fcat I get the same behavior when I select a system in the gegno space too.
as part of my testing I saw that the same mission selects a system that is still hidden, any other system in the map including systems at korath space, the location of the Emerald Sword and even gengo space after they were revealed.

you made the mission invisible ;)

[daggs1]

interesting, I need an event to make in visible then?

[TomGoodIdea]

I mean, you have the invisible attribute on the mission

[daggs1]

there are multiple missions which are marked the same but still get triggered, why?

[TomGoodIdea]

I think job and repeat is what you're looking for: https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/wiki/CreatingMissions#introduction

[daggs1]

you might right, I'll drop the invisible and test, if no go will add job

Thanks
