true/false variables between scenes

"change the state of the link to the resource to true when the user clicks the "next lesson" button at the end of the lesson. I set the initial state of the link to the resource to disabled. Then I set the trigger to show the resource layer when the user clicks the button and the value of that link is true."

If this is an accurate description of what you are doing, then the resource layer will not turn to true when the user clicks unless the layer is already true.

Change the state of the layer to visible when the user clicks if a variable is true.

Of course, without seeing the .story file, I'm just making a wild guess.

Thanks Walt!  I will have to work this one out for sure.  I'll work on your thoughts and see what happens.  Back tomorrow :)

Glad that Walt was able to assist you here Sylvia :)

When problem solving variable issues it can be helpful to put a text reference that lists the variable's state on your slide(s). To do this, put a text box on your slide that reads %varbiableName%. The text box will then tell you the variable's state. Its very handy for determining if triggers are working how you expect them to.

What I do all the time Douglas - thanks for sharing that tip here. 

Thanks Douglas.  I forgot about that trick!

Hi Sylvia,

I can provide you a perfect solution if I get a chance to see the source file.

Thanks for popping in with such an offer Chandan :)
