How do I enter an instance variable to an object?

Hi, I am very new to Construct 3 and I have a free account at the moment and I've been trying to get an instance variable added to my player sprite, which works but then when I try and create an action with that variable, I get an error message stating that there is no variable to add.. can someone please help with this? I have attached 2 images to show what I have done and what I am getting. Thanks in advance.

You cannot compare a boolean variable the way you are trying. Booleans are only true or false.

Try "Is boolean instance variable set" instead, or use a different type of variable to be able to compare.

Yea Krypto is right,

What you did wrong is selecting the wrong option on the event sheet.

Don't select "Compare instance variable" because this only codes for a number or a string

You should select "Is boolean instance variable set" for this codes for a boolean only.

Here's a screenshot to show you which option you should select:

If you have further issues be sure to ask.

I suggest using a number variable instead, it's easier. 0=false, 1=true.

Superb! Thank you for that. Seems to work easier.
