Combination Lock Puzzle
Hi, I'm kind of stumped here, hoping someone can help me -
I've trying to do a bit where the player has to enter the correct code into a combination lock and then open it. The way I've done it is to have each of the dials set their own $Dial# variable, and then create a variable for the lock as a whole with
<<set $Combination to "<<print $Dial1>> <<print $Dial2>> <<print $Dial3>> <<print $Dial4>> <<print $Dial5>>">>
That seems to work, and changing the individual $Dial variables seems to work fine. However, when I use
<<if $Combination is "1 2 3 4 5">>Success!<<endif>>
It doesn't seem to work, even if <<print $Combination>> shows the result 1 2 3 4 5 in the same passage.
Does this make any sense at all?
Cheers.

<<set>>is not doing what you think it's doing. Try the following instead:
