Problem with a global variable

[DisneyBoy]

I am having a problem with a global variable, and I cannot seem to de-bug it.
What I am trying to do is carry a global variable that says if item #1 is owned by player #1, player #2, or nobody.
When the frame starts I want the variable to equal zero, I even have it set to zero when the game starts, but for some reason it is changing to #1 when the game actual game starts.
Here is my coding
If player=1
ItemNumber=1
Button clicked...

Then make item1owner=1

But it is making the item1owner equal to 1 before the button is clicked, when it should be zero. Any thoughts?

Put the "button clicked" condition above the others. It should turn red, which is good. =)

Thank you for the advice, that did seem to fix one problem, the variable does not change before the button is clicked, unfortunately it doesn't change when the button is clicked either.
It may be something I did , but I can not figure out what it is?

That's weird. Can you post your .mfa?

or maybe snapshot the event that's setting the value.

One frame #4 right before the "game frame"
I set global value Player Number to one
I set item1owned to 0
Itemnumber1 =1
Playernumber=1

Frame #5 is the game screen the item1owned is still 0 when the frame starts (I checked this)

The code in question is this
If button is clicked
Itemnumber1 = 1
Player Number =1

Then set itemowned1 = 1

But it just stay set to 0

Can you upload an MFA so we can take a look?

[DisneyBoy]

Yes I can do that, if somebody can tell me how to do it?????
Excuse my ignorance

[Konidias]

Use the MFA repository to upload and then post the link here.

There's a link to the repository on the right side of this site, or you can click the link below

I tried to upload the file it is to big, I will tinker around with the program and see if I can get the thing to work.

Most likely you have an event where the value is set to 0. This event might keep looping, so it will reset to 0 even after you set it to 1.
