Problem with if in prototyping

Hi @vbaisha

The problem

When the polish flag is displayed and you click on it, here’s what happening :

1. it goes for your first condition and it checked if #test is equal to “🇵🇱”. At this time it’s true so #test is assigned the value “🇺🇸”
2. then it goes for the second condition. #test isn’t equal to “🇪🇸” so nothing happen.
3. For the last condition, #test does contain the value “🇺🇸” so it enter the condition and set #test to “🇪🇸”.

A solution

You want this logic to only be able to set the #test variable once per run.
Create a boolean variable #quit set to false

1. before your first condition set #quit to false
   
2. add the following logic to all conditions : and #quit == False as shown bellow
   
3. inside all condition, after #test is set, change the value of #quit to true
   

Adding the #quit boolean, ensure that #test can only set once per click.
If we take a look at the problem again : You’ll enter first condition and change:

• #test from “🇵🇱” to “🇺🇸” and,
• #quit to true.

When the third condition will be check, #test will be equal to 🇺🇸 but #quit won’t be equal to false so it won’t enter the condition.

Hope it helped!

Thank you so much, ultimately I got it 😃
