GMS2 trigger for event not working properly - gml

Question

(First of all i'm new to all of this so sorry in advance if this was a waste of time)
So I'm creating a game and decided to follow Friendly Cosmonaut's guide on triggers and cutscenes.
(link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDLxCXexcxk
I followed everything there and created a few custom scripts and everything works like a charm on the first room, but when I try adding a trigger on the second room it just doesn't work at all.
For example, I create a trigger so when it collides with the player object, it makes the screen shake (as a test) and it creates an object in the room. But when the code is the following:
t_scene_info = [
[screen_shake, 6, 1000],
]
(I'll provide code for all functions further in the post)
Nothing happens on collision, but when I change it to:
t_scene_info = [
[screen_shake(6, 1000)],
]
The code runs before even the player has collided, as soon as the trigger object gets created.
(Again, I tried this in the first room with the first 2 triggers, and it works fine.)
Here's the code for:
oCutscene (Create event):
scene_info = -1;
scene = 0;
timer = 0;
scene_info = [
[create_box_at_mouse],
[cutscene_wait, 2],
[create_box_at_mouse],
[cutscene_wait, 4],
[create_box_at_mouse]
];
event_perform(ev_other, ev_user0);
x_dest = -1;
y_dest = -1;
oCutscene (Step event):
script_execute_alt(current_scene[0], current_scene_array);
oCutscene (User event 0):
current_scene = scene_info[scene]
var len = array_length_1d(current_scene) -1;
current_scene_array = -1;
current_scene_array = array_create(len, 0);
array_copy(current_scene_array, 0, current_scene, 1, len);
oTriggerP (Step event) (The trigger that's supposed to execute the code when colliding with the player or playerd (just a dummy)):
if(!instance_exists(oCutscene)){
if(place_meeting(x, y, oPlayerD) || place_meeting(x, y, oPlayer)){
create_cutscene(t_scene_info);
instance_destroy();
}
}
oTriggerP (Create event):
t_scene_info = -1;
create_cutscene (Script):
if(!instance_exists(oCutscene)){
if(place_meeting(x, y, oPlayerD) || place_meeting(x, y, oPlayer)){
create_cutscene(t_scene_info);
instance_destroy();
}
}
cutscene_end_action (Script):
with(oCutscene){
scene++;
if(scene > array_length_1d(scene_info)-1){
instance_destroy();
exit;
}
event_perform(ev_other, ev_user0);
}
cutscene_wait (Script):
with(oCutscene){
scene++;
if(scene > array_length_1d(scene_info)-1){
instance_destroy();
exit;
}
event_perform(ev_other, ev_user0);
}
script_execute_alt (Script):
///#description script_execute_alt
///#arg ind
///#arg [arg1,arg2,...]
var num1 = argument0;
var a = argument1;
var len = array_length_1d(argument1);
switch(len){
case 0 : script_execute(0) break;
case 1 : script_execute(num1, a[0]); break;

case 14: script_execute(num1, a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3], a[4], a[5], a[6], a[7], a[8], a[9],
a[10], a[11], a[12], a[13]); break;
case 15: script_execute(num1, a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3], a[4], a[5], a[6], a[7], a[8], a[9],
a[10], a[11], a[12], a[13], a[14]); break;

a[10], a[11], a[12], a[13], a[14], a[15], a[16]); break;
case 18: script_execute(num1, a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3], a[4], a[5], a[6], a[7], a[8], a[9],
a[10], a[11], a[12], a[13], a[14], a[15], a[16], a[17]); break;
case 19: script_execute(num1, a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3], a[4], a[5], a[6], a[7], a[8], a[9],
a[10], a[11], a[12], a[13], a[14], a[15], a[16], a[17], a[18]); break;
case 20: script_execute(num1, a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3], a[4], a[5], a[6], a[7], a[8], a[9],
a[10], a[11], a[12], a[13], a[14], a[15], a[16], a[17], a[18], a[19]); break;
}
screen_shake (Script):
///#arg Magnitude
///#arg Time
with(oCamera){
if(argument0 > shake_remain){
shake_magnitude = argument0;
shake_remain = argument0;
shake_length = argument1;
}
cutscene_end_action();
}
Here's the creation code for the 2 triggers in the first room:
First trigger (oTriggerP):
t_scene_info = [
[cutscene_move_character, oPlayerD, 800, 279, false, 1],
[cutscene_wait, 1],
[instance_create_layer, 0, 0, 0, oIntro],
[cutscene_move_character, oPlayerD, 1170, 279, false, 1],
];
Second trigger (Another oTriggerP):
t_scene_info = [
[cutscene_move_character, oPlayerD, 800, 279, false, 1],
[cutscene_wait, 1],
[instance_create_layer, 0, 0, 0, oIntro],
[cutscene_move_character, oPlayerD, 1170, 279, false, 1],
[room_goto(Prehistoric)]
];
I really don't think the cutscene_wait and cutscene_move_character scripts have anything to do with this but I'll throw 'em in just in case
cutscene_wait (Script):
/// #description
/// #arg second
with(oCutscene){
timer++;
if(timer >= argument[0] * room_speed){
timer = 0;
cutscene_end_action();
}
}
cutscene_move_character (Script)
with(oCutscene){
var obj = argument0, relative = argument3, spd = argument4;
if(x_dest == -1){
if(!relative){
x_dest = argument1;
y_dest = argument2;
} else{
x_dest = obj.x + argument1;
y_dest = obj.y + argument2;
}
}
var xx = x_dest;
var yy = y_dest;
with(obj){
sprite_index = sPlayerR;
if(point_distance(x, y, xx, yy) >= spd){
var dir = point_direction(x, y, xx, yy);
var ldirx = lengthdir_x(spd, dir);
var ldiry = lengthdir_y(spd, dir);
if(dir != 0) { image_xscale = sign(ldirx); }
x += ldirx;
y += ldiry;
}else {
x = xx;
y = yy;
with(other){
x_dest = -1;
y_dest = -1;
cutscene_end_action();
}
}
}
}
Thank you in advance for your time and patience, and I apologize if I didn't include something or messed up on anything.
