Event not working properly
Hi,
I have two events, one which sets a variable, and one that looks for said variable in the next scenario.
For some reason, despite the [then] tag being met, the second event always resorts to the [else] tag.
What's supposed to happen: If the player chooses to retreat immediately, it sets troublechoice (variable) value to 1. Then, in the next scenario, for event start, the [then] tag is supposed to be triggered.
This happens correctly, as when I inspect in the next scenario, troublechoice=1. However, despite this being the condition of the then tag and it is met, the [else] tag fires.
Here are the two events, in order:
The event which sets the variable, given you select the appropriate choice (which was done in testing.)
And the second event, which looks for the variable's value being 1.

Thanks, Ravana. It works correctly now.
