Hello all, I'm currently trying to create a text based adventure in Visual Basic 6. Although when I am comparing my IF statements to see which turn it is, it runs fine, but it also reads an IF statement that I don't want it to. Let me show you the code, +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Private Sub go_Click() ' Room 3 If turn = 2 Then If inp.Text = "go north" Then desc.Caption = "A rusty sign reads 'Block E-7'. You are in a huge blank room with pale white walls. You glance over at the corner, there sits an overflowing bin" loct.Caption = "Block E-7" turn = 3 End If Else cant.Caption = "Cannot " + inp.Text End If If turn = 2 Then If inp.Text = "open door" Then cant.Caption = "Door is locked." turn = 2 End If End If ' Room 2 If turn = 1 Then If inp.Text = "go north" Then desc.Caption = "You are in a narrow corridor, the light continues north. You notice a small door to the right of you." loct.Caption = "Narrow Corridor" cant.Caption = "" turn = 2 End If Else cant.Caption = "Cannot " + inp.Text End If inp.Text = "" End Sub ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ When I am at Room 3, it correctly does it but it also does the code at Room 2: If inp.Text = "go north" Then When it is under If turn = 1. Basically I want it to stop reading the If statements under it, or make sure that ONLY IF turn = 1 do that block, none other. I'm sorry if i sound confusing. Any questions please ask. Thank you in advance.

You should use AND to tell your program not to execute a block of code unless both conditions are true. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Private Sub go_Click() ' Room 3 If turn = 2 And inp.Text = "go north" Then desc.Caption = "A rusty sign reads 'Block E-7'. You are in a huge blank room with pale white walls. You glance over at the corner, there sits an overflowing bin" loct.Caption = "Block E-7" cant.Caption = "" turn = 3 Else cant.Caption = "Cannot " + inp.Text End If If turn = 2 And inp.Text = "open door" Then cant.Caption = "Door is locked." turn = 2 End If ' Room 2 If turn = 1 And inp.Text = "go north" Then desc.Caption = "You are in a narrow corridor, the light continues north. You notice a small door to the right of you." loct.Caption = "Narrow Corridor" cant.Caption = "" turn = 2 Else cant.Caption = "Cannot " + inp.Text End If inp.Text = "" End Sub +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This may be able to be optimised further, but I just corrected what was obvious to me at a glance. Please let us know if you found someone's advice to be helpful.

Thanks, but now that I look further, I think the problem is that the variable in the IF block ISNT setting...
