How to Change the State of an Object From a Different Scene

Variable is half the solution. The slide with the button needs a trigger that changes state of the button (to disabled, or a custom state) based on the variable's value at timeline start.

Hi Michael,

You were so close! :)

You're absolutely right that T/F variables is exactly what's needed here. The only problem was that on your main menu slide, you used a "When Variable Changes" trigger... however if you think about it, this trigger will never work because when the variable actually changes, we arent on this menu slide - we are still on the last slide of the scene!

So to make this work, simply change the trigger on your menu slide that says "When Variable Changes..." to:

"CHANGE STATE of Button 2 to NORMAL when TIMELINE STARTS on this slide IF Variable1 = true"

Thats it.

P.S. name those variables! ;)

Hope this helps!
