How do you unlock levels? My method doesn’t work.

ShaunElery

At the end of each level when my hero collides with a goal actor, the goal actor tells game attribute “Level 1 beat” to become true, and then switches scenes back to the menu.

On the menu my Level 2 button has a rule that only works when "Level 1 beat" is true. (and so on for 15 levels. ) However, when I test the game in preview the attributes don’t hold.

If I beat level 1, 2 unlocks like it should. And when I beat level 2, 3 unlocks like it should BUT level 1 has become locked again. Something caused "Level 1 beat" to become false.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Are you talking about when you load the game up again the levels go back to locked? If so, you're going to need to investigate load/save attributes. That said, sometimes ga viewer won't accurately load and save when you quit out of it. An ad hoc build is your best bet to test load/save.
Aside from that it could simply be a change attribute somewhere. Something is telling level 1 to boolean false. A quick way around this for the time being is to say IF you beat level 4 then every level prior becomes unlocked. That should reenforce the boolean switch. But thats just a quick momentary fix. I'd investigate your code and or look into that load/save i talked about at the beginning.

No, it's not when I reload. It's when I go back to the menu scene durring the current session.

Anyway, I think I will change to an interger attribute and check to see if the level is less than < that. That way everything is only checking a single attribute.

thanks!

@ShaunElery Tshirtbooth does a great tutorial on level locking just look it up on YouTube (would put a link but am on phone)

Hope this helps
