HELP!!!

I am currently working on a platform game where the player is required to pick up a series of keys to unlock the door before being allowed to the next level.

As there are multiple keys to collect, how would I be able to check whether all the keys have been collected?

I first though I could use a Boolean variable to check, but I'm not sure how to do it, or whether that is the correct way of doing it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Add a variable and set it to the total amount of keys, then decrease it every time you pick one up.

I did think of that as an idea, but as I am going to have multiple levels with different amounts of keys, is there not a more dynamic way of doing it?

Put this in the layout event sheet:

System: On start of layout -> System: Set TotalKeys to Keys.Count

It'll automatically set the total keys the player needs to collect to the number of keys.

currently when the player has picked up all of the keys and stands over the door object, it enables them to go to the next level.

Currently I am doing the following: Player: Is overlapping door & Keys = 0 -> System: Go to Layout 2

Is there a more dynamic way of doing this.. I want the logic for all the levels to be kept to one event sheet if possible.

System: Go to Layout int(layoutName)+1

This assumes your layouts are named 1, 2, 3 etc.

You could also have another variable called 'LevelNumber', increment it by 1 at start of layout and when going to next level use:

System: Go to Layout LevelNumber+1

Currently when I try and use any of those actions there is nowhere I can enter anything, Just a dropdown menu....

Use Go to Layout(by name) - action. It's in the system events.
