Similar to this bug from a MUCH earlier build scirra.com/forum/compare-instance-variable-check-failure_topic44665.html

Expected result:

To see the instance variable displayed. I can see it if I back up and try the Instance Variables>Is Boolean value set condition.

Closing, this is by design, just use 'Is boolean variable set' instead. It's done this way because 'Compare' allows things like greater than, less than etc. which doesn't make sense when comparing a boolean value.

Ok. I am trying to have an animation play based on the Boolean state. So the "is Boolean variable set" is the right way to go? It didn't seem to give me an option of finding the state of the variable, if it is currently true or false.

Thanks for the fast response, Ashley.

The condition checks if it's true. If you want to check if it's false, invert the condition.
