Hmm.... What is the powerup's time? If it is more than 0, then I know what the problem is. The variable is changing, but it is just changing back really quickly. Here's your script all scribbled on:



So, it checks to see if what is circled in green is true. It is. It changes the variable to 1. It skips the stuff in red. Now it goes to blue. The forever block repeats pretty fast- the "Which  Powerup?" variable probably can't change from 1 to 2 before it gets to the blue stuff. So, if the green is true, the blue must be false. Since the blue stuff is false, it skips to the "else." If "powerup's time" is more than 0, it will change the variable in question back to 0. All this happens before you can even notice that the variable changes at all.

That's not quite the way my project works, but thank you for trying to help  . I should probably upload my project, but I don't want anyone to download it and steal my coding before it is completely finished and then upload it as their own...

Yeah, that could be a problem... You could make a test account and upload it there. Less people would see it that way.

Or, you could just explain to me how your project does work, unless that would take too long. Is "powerup's time" never more than 0 if than 0 if "Which Powerup?" is 2?

lol I may. I fixed the problem but have another problem most likely related to that script  . I'll post the project when I can get on my computer.
