    ParnazMaboud105​: For future reference, a variable maintains its value until a trigger changes it. A slide's revisiting setting ("Reset to Initial State" or "Resume saved state") doesn't impact the value at all. 

    One common issue with variables: Folks often use "when variable changes" in a trigger. But that only works if the variable changes on the same slide as that trigger. Instead, as shown in your "Trigger feilds v.2.png," a trigger often needs a different "when" plus conditions that check the values in the appropriate variables. 

    Also note that a trigger that runs "when the timeline starts on this slide" will run every time the user visits that slide. So a trigger with that "when" plus variable-checking conditions is a great way to make something happen when a user returns to a slide.

    I got some help from ChatGPT, but I'm still stuggling. I changed the trigger so it jumps to the "Mission Accomplished" slide when all three variables have changed to True. I think the reason I'm having trouble is because they're on different slides. I also tried changing the settings of all the pages to "resume state" so it remembers the values are true.

    Hi Kendal, 

    Thank you so much for the quick response. Sorry it's taken a bit for me to respond back, but I'm having some trouble with the solution you gave me. 

    I think it's because for the "When" field, I can't figure out how to list all 3 variables.

    Hello,

    You can create a True/False variable for each puzzle to indicate whether or not it has been completed. For example, you can create a True/False variable named "Puzzle1Complete" and set the initial value to False. When the user completes the puzzle, you can use a trigger to set the variable to True. Then repeat the process for the other 2 puzzles.

    If you are restricting an action, you can use the Condition part of the Trigger for that action to be executed when all 3 of your variables equal True. For example, you can use a Continue button's trigger to go to the next slide, upon the Condition that all 3 variables equal True.
