Variables Not Working

In the attached file, I have 3 variables. Only 1 seems to be working as I intended. All 3 variables (I think) are set up in the same way, so I don't understand why one works and the others don't. I hope it's something obvious I'm missing, and not a bug!

  • If it's not clear from the file, the "way I intend" for the variables to work is for the user to click on the character of their choice on the first slide and for only that character to appear on the next slide. It works for Carlos, but if Jane or Nora are clicked, there's nothing on the next slide.

    Look closely at the order your triggers execute. With "Carlos," first the variable is adjusted, THEN the jump to next slide happens. With the other 2, the jump happens before the relevant variable can be adjusted. Subtle, but extremely important.
