I dont knwow what the problem is
So in my game script, after you beat the first puzzle and the cutscenes are over and everything, a hidden variable is set to 'true' (showing that it is over). I have a script ready so that the arrows that let you go to other locations only work when it's over. Howvever, when it's over, I click an arrow and the 'area' variable gloes blank and then nothing happens. Can anybody check and fix my scripts to make it so that when I click the right arrow the area variable is set to hills? The game is called DONT PLAY - Scratch Cat Detective or something like that, I cant remember the bit at the beggining.

Re: I dont knwow what the problem is
After surveying your script it was easy to determine your problem.
You are displaying the Up and Left arrow sprites after the first puzzle is solved.
The variables in play are then:
Area = "Southern Beach"
BSO = true
In the left arrow sprite here's the block of code:
when [Left v] clicked
end
if < (BSO) = [True] >
if < (Area) = [Southern Beach] > // this is true
set [Area v] to [Hills] // Area now = Hills
end
if < (Area) = [Northern Beach] >
set [Area v] to [ ]
end
if < (Area) = [Hills] > // Then this is true
set [Area v] to [ ] // and immediately sets Area to empty
end
if < (Area) = [West Road] >
set [Area v] to [ ]
end
if < (Area) = [Canyon] >
set [Area v] to [ ]
end
if < (Area) = [Cornelius' Pathway] >
set [Area v] to [Canyon]
end
end

Does it work now, EdgeGamer?

Re: I dont knwow what the problem is
Well, i just looked now, and i don't think you have a ton of bugs.
I think it's just that you didn't finish it.
Like dechan said, you have some empty assignment boxes that need to be filled.
Very clever puzzle. 
i love those puzzles, reminds me of the moron test app.
Hope that helps,

Well, what I was going for, was that it picks one of those 'ifs' depending on the area, and the hills one was blank because it would be hidden then anyway. I think I know how to fix it.
