Hey dop2000! I needed to add a new column to my spreadsheet (Accusation), so that it records who the player is accusing rather than giving the player the answer via the original sprite animations. So I set it up so that when a player makes an accusation, a global variable is set to the name of the person being accused. But instead, the data isn't transferring over to the spreadsheet for some reason. I've attached a screenshot of the changes I've made- am I missing something super simple again?
Never mind. I can do it with your method. You are BRILLIANT! Thank you!!!!
Thanks! Ok so I run that, and it shows all the information is there down at the bottom. So why won't it update the textbox with that information?

Here's the final capx one more time. dop2000 if you don't mind, can you give me a more step-by-step instruction of what you were saying? I'd really like this to work but I'm definitely hitting outside the limits of my knowledge.
Haha that's getting into way over my head territory. I may just be at a wall I can't get through. I really do appreciate all your time and help, though. You've been so great! Thanks dop2000 !
Actually now it's back to not working at all, not even pulling the score. Uggggh!
So I changed it up a bit- when I did the below BEFORE adding a second text box that would show the player's name, the global variable worked. But now if I have one box showing the player name and one the score, the score just shows "O". I'm so close to getting it but I'm just missing something!! Thanks again for all your help so far dop2000 !
dop2000 - I think the issue I'm still running into is that I'm not going to know what username a player enters in order to put it in the code. I tried with a global variable but it didn't work. Basically it's supposed to be a simplified leaderboard, where after the person finishes, they can see their name and 4-9 other players and what their finishing times were. I think I could do it if I could keep the entire first column blank? But I don't know how to do that using the tutorial you created.
Bless you. I've been beating my head on the desk for hours on this one!
dop2000 THANK YOU! That fixed it immediately! So, how do I move everything over, since there will be multiple users? I want it to pull the following data:
User Name - Score
User Name2 - Score
etc.
If I just use "Lesley," it's not going to work.
You don't have to rewrite/paste in the character controls in each event sheet. I don't really know how to help you more without seeing what you're doing though
Do you have multiple event sheets? If so, you need to include the one with the character commands in it by right clicking in the event sheet and including those events.
Do you have the other layouts set to read the same event sheet?
On the first layout with your sprite, click on the sprite. Look in the top left hand corner where it says object type properties. There should be either a box to check global or a drop down menu to select yes.
Have you checked to confirm that your character sprite is global so that its controls will persist across each layout?
