Can't get a state to change when a variable becomes true
I am creating a 'Who wants to be a millionaire' game which has the lifelines of 50:50, phone a friend and ask the audience.
When a user clicks on any one of these, in future slides I want the state to be change to 'disabled' as it has already been used.
What I have done is create a variable that will change from false to true when a button is clicked on and then there is a trigger to change the state of the button to 'disabled' if the variable is now set to 'true'.
But, it is not working. When I get to the next slide, the lifeline button is still showing as clickable, although clicking on it doesn't show the layer (so that bit works). I have created a text box with a reference which shows the variable is changing to true but the state change isn't taking effect.
I have attached a screenshot showing the triggers for the 50:50 button if that helps.
Any ideas on what I could be getting wrong here?
Did you add 'when the timeline starts on this slide' on the trigger which is responsible for disenabling the button?
Set state of 50:50- ''50:50'' to Disabled
When the timeline starts on
this slide
if 5050selected changes
if 5050selected = value trueYou are a genius! I knew it was something simple that I was getting wrong.
This works perfectly.
Could I get a copy of your template!? I'd love to make something similar. Thanks!
