[SOLVED] Instances activating other instances

I have an instance with a trigger and a filter. I have another instance with a cube that is supposed to activate the trigger, but it just won't. I set up the filter to use the instance parms and I know entities from the other instance have fix-up names, but it still won't activate the trigger. If both are outside instances then it works, but without instances it's very inconvenient. Am I doing something wrong?

One instance is a "cube" dropper and the other is a "cube" button. The reason why they are set up like they are is because they aren't prop_weighted_cubes, and it is impossible to make them that because...

Spoiler
they're turrets using different models.

Could the problem be that the filter filters for names and the items inside an instance get a prefix/suffix with the name of the instance?

If filtering for something else like the model isn't an option, you could try to add a @ in front of the name of the object your filtering for. This should make it keep its name.

I'll try this, thanks!

EDIT: I'm now filtering by classname, which is a lot easier. So that's fixed!
