Hi, I'm a little new to scripting, but I've generally got the hang of it. However, I have run into an issue with getting flowfields to start. My script (for Sky by DJ Manian) has 6 different flowfields in it, but I have only gotten the script to switch the flowfield successfully three times (to GreatMinds, DaveF-Evacuate, and Twisted Tiles). The lines of code that switch and prepare g force to switch the flowfield is identical in all situations, and I'm sure I've typed everything correctly. This is my code, could anyone help me figure out my mistake? The bolded sections are the ones that I am having trouble with.

Issue with Flowfields in Scripts

1st off I don't think it likes a SetFlowField at the same time as SetNextFlowField. I moved the set next to one second after and Rovastar - Mosaic History (Aztec Mix)" started to work.
2nd, you're putting a set flow of the same flow when a set next is scheduled to occur. This is unnessesary. The set next will cause the flowfield to change. I shortened up the delay on your set next for DaveF-Evacuate and ONE started to work. To keep your original timing it would be better to move ONE a second later.
Now, for JBS - Bizzare Star it's actually JBS1 but that didn't work. I tried another flow and it doesn't work either. I don't know what's up with that one.
Here's what I have:
