On the hint layer, I changed the 6 triggers that follow the "Hide layer" trigger.
It will work if there is an "Add 1 to randomnumber" for numbers 1 - 16, and they are in order and they are before the "Change State" triggers. Be sure you change the existing triggers to match the three that I changed.
I forgot, but when there is a list of triggers for one action, all of them are executed. So the way I had them set up originally, if the random number was 6, then the first trigger would add 1 to it, and so on down the list. So unless it was 1, by the time it forgot to 6, it was no longer 6, but 11..
There are two options:
One is to do what the first three do; go through the numbers, and if that number has been chosen, add 1 to the random number. Then after finding the first number that is available after the random number, it goes through that list and shows that hint.
The other is to set random number to 1, and forget the first set of triggers. Then it will go down the list and find the first available hint. The problem with that is it will always present the hints in order.
Either way, if all the words higher than the random are found, no hint will be given.
