Questions about the variables in escape room using 360 image (solved!!)

Hi E-learning heroes! I recently run into a question in setting varibles in 360 image.

Here is what I want to make:

When the players navigate the kitchen and find the salt bottle, it will be crossed as follows:

My initial solution is setting layers of items and set up the following variables:

However, when the players get another item (flour), the salt bottle cannot remain crossed,  like this:

Can somebody give me some advice about how to make the found items remain crossed? Thank you very much!

Now I solved this problem: I put the texts in the base layer and it worked!!

I got lots of ideas from this post:

    Check the layer properties on each layer to make sure 'Hide other side layers' is unchecked.

    Best.

      hey, thank you very much for your reply! I have tried this before but still does not work out:)

  • If you would attach your .story file (or at least that slide) here, someone could give you some ideas.
