I'm in the process of building a Dwemer dungeon and while I've gotten a decent handle on most traps, I'm running into some weird issues with ambushes involving enemies (Dwemer Spiders, Spheres, and Centurions). I want the spiders and spheres to jump out of their respective dwemer hidey-holes when the player walks by. However they currently just sit in front of the ports not moving until I run into the trigger which activates them. And when they're activated they won't attack me. They just kinda stare menacingly. Even the Centurions, who I've gotten to pop out of their ambushes correctly, don't start attacking me.

So the basic set-up I have is: A leveled-ambush-enemy linked to its port, and a trap-trigger-box which activates both the port and the ambush.

I don't have the best handle on the Creation Kit, so maybe I'm doing something simple wrong. If anyone has any ideas for what I'm doing wrong, help would be most appreciated.

(P.S. I also have an issue with making a dwemer piston trap hurt the player, but that's less important.)
