Issues with Alert Sound

Hello! Is anyone having issues now or recently with Alerts within custom studies not being performed? I have some conditional Plots which ARE successfully being performed, but attempting to use the same condition as a parameter for an Alert does not seem to currently work. Anyone have a similar instance? Thank you.

EDIT
Little more detail for context; the condition being used successfully is essentially various EMA crossover states. Again it's just odd that the condition is valid and being marked in Plot syntax, but assigning it as an Alert is an issue. I know this is a strange question, I searched for similar issues but had no luck. Thanks again.

@maloneyjay1 Welcome to the usethinkscript forums...

Are you attempting to put the entire conditional code within the alert or are you calculating it first and then using the result as your condition, as you should...???

For future reference, when asking about code problems, always post the code in question using the </> icon, using the Ruby language type for syntax highlighting, so we can see what you are talking about and can perhaps debug it for you...

@rad14733 Thanks for the reply - will include a snippet in the future for reference. I had several conditional references defined and was attempting to create a 'super' conditional as a parameter, which was the issue.

Appreciate the help and will consider this resolved.
