If statement not working

I’m having an issue with a script I’m working on. I have made it so that when the character enters a certain collider, the boolean is set to true, but when it is true, the character won’t instantiate the cube that i set within the variable. I’m pretty sure it’s a mistake in my coding, but I don’t know exactly what I’m doing wrong.
#pragma strict

var fireball : GameObject;
var ShootFireballs = false;
function Start () {
}


function OnTriggerEnter (Other : Collider){
 
 if(Other.gameObject.tag == "fireflower"){
 	ShootFireballs = true;
 
 }
 }
  
 
       if (ShootFireballs == true) {
 	if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
        Instantiate(fireball, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        }

Try this:

var fireball : GameObject;
var ShootFireballs = false;

function Start () {
}
function OnTriggerEnter (Other : Collider){
    if(Other.gameObject.tag == "fireflower"){
        ShootFireballs = true;
    }
}
function Update(){
    if (ShootFireballs == true) {
        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
            Instantiate(fireball, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        }
    }
}
