Hey everyone! This is the first time in a while I've had to come here for coding help! Anyways, I'm trying to make an iOS styled switch that toggles a boolean. That sounds really simple but for some reason it isn't working for me. :-w Here is a screenshot of my code:

    What is it that isn't working as expected?

    It won't change the boolean like it should. It is obviously something in my code but it makes sense to me... Here is what I'm trying to do:
    When the actor is touched and if game.boolean is false -
    change game.boolean to true and change image to switchON
    and the exact same thing only opposite for if it is true.

    I see, I tried to re-build it and got the same thing. I think I got it working though, check out this screen and look how the rules are nested...

    You have an endless loop there. I would suggest using an integer or index and toggle between 1 and 0.
    When Touch is Pressed
    --Change Attribute: game.toggle = 1-game.toggle

    If you really must have a boolean, add the rule

    If Attribute game.toggle == 1
    --Change Attribute: game.BoolToggle = true
    --Otherwise: Change Attribute: game.BoolToggle = false
