Question about *Trigger/*ZoneTrigger

I can;'t get my *ZoneTrigger to trigger a MessageTrigger (and yes I know the ZoneTrigger includes a simple player message system, but I don;t want to use that.).

I set *ZoneTrigger -> Events -> Event to "Proximity1" and MessageTrigger -> Events -> Tag to "Proximity1", but the MessageTrigger doesn't seem to get triggered at all. Anyone got an idea what I am doing wrong?

I think it may have something to do with the description of *Trigger (superclass of *ZoneTrigger): "Trigger: senses things happening in its proximity and generates sends Trigger/UnTrigger to actors whose names match 'EventName'.", but I don;t get what the developers mean with this description. I tried to rename the Event and Tags to "MessageTrigger5", the name of the MessageTrigger but that doesn't work either.

A ZoneTrigger triggers only ZoneInfo actors with a Tag name matching the ZoneTrigger's Event name, nothing else. The only ZoneInfo that actually reacts to triggering is a WarpZoneInfo with more than one destination.
A regular Trigger triggers non-static actors and static NavigationPoint actors with a Tag name matching the Trigger's Event name.

Note that triggering does not involve an actor's Name value at all.
