Disabling levels in games

Jun 14, 2018

By Janice Shaw Min Lee

Hi, I want to disable certain levels to indicate it is locked unless the player clears the first one. How do I do it?

I have been told that it can be done through layers or conditions and variables. But I do not know how to do it.

Please help.

Here is an an example of a menu system that (I think) does something similar. The initial state of all buttons, except the first one, is set to Disabled. Then, as sections (this could be your levels), the next menu item (level) is enabled and so on.

Thank you! That was really helpful.

Another question: Is there a way to show the learners that the next levels are "locked" (e.g. when they hover over the disabled levels, they are told it is disabled)?

Thanks :)

You could just pop a lock icon into the disabled state

Hi, how do I pop this lock icon into the disabled state? I'm assuming that it can be done by editing the state but I'm unsure of how it is supposed to be done.

Thanks for helping! :)
