Hey all,

I have posted in here a few times and have had some amazing help with this but I am still a little stuck and need someone to really go into detail about how to complete this.

I am making your typical game and have level screen. On that screen I have 15 buttons all of which are a different level and when clicked on, take you to that scene.

I need to lock all the levels except the first. Then once level one is complete, level two is unlocked etc...

I have watched tshirt booth's video. As helpful as this was, he has one button set up for all his levels and I have a new button for each instance. There are subtle differences that are not allowing his video work on my game; one of which is he's on a Mac.

I have made 2 Integer attributes in the Game tab. One called CurrentLevel and another called UnlockedLevel. I have then placed a 'WhatLevelAmI' Integer on each of the level buttons and made them their respective levels.

I have then gone into each level and (I think this is where I went wrong) on the object that allows the level to be complete, I have also put a WhatLevelAmI on and put in respective level numbers.

I have put a 'change attribute' at the top of that object as well so straight up it says CurrentLevel is WhatLevelAmI. Then were it says (on that same object) level complete, I have tried to put in something to say unlocked level is WhatLevelAmI +1.

None of the above is working. I can still click on every level. Nothing is locking and I don't know how to sort it...

I someone could please go into a bit of detail on how to tackle this, that would be so helpful!

Thanks,
Nick.

    I got a better idea. I'll make a demo level lock and unlock for you. It'll be later in the day before I get to post it.

    Alright, here is a working level lock and unlock system built with the Windows version of Creator. Hope it helps.

    @Braydon_SFX‌ I now have the levels all sorted. They are locked except the first.

    My only problem now is making the next level unlock when completing the level.

    Here is my rules:

    When object A collides with object B
    DO
    Timer
    After 2 seconds
    Spawn Actor - (level complete sign)
    Play sound - (level complete sound
    Change table view
    Table 1
    Row - self.WhichLevelToUnlockNext
    Column - 1 Value - 1
    Save Table
    Table 1
    Timer
    After 2 seconds
    Change Scene - Home Scene

    I have duplicated this is both Instance and Prototype. It isn't unlocking level 2 after returning to the home screen.

    What would you recommend?
