I know this is an older game, but very good at having students see how to put together multiple aspects of a game.
We have worked through everything, except I can’t get the cut scenes to work. Would someone be able to look at this level status script and see if there is some obvious thing I have missed or messed up.
The Game level works by itself, the Start Menu and Game Over menu work on their own.
When I collect the required number of fuel canisters, nothing happens, and I have no errors showing.

Some things:
Why is this line of code called twice? levelGoal.GetComponent(MeshCollider).isTrigger=false; It may be important, but calling it twice won’t make a difference. It will either work or fail regardless of the number of times it’s called.
This code doesn’t have any obvious “stand-out” errors. Do you know what code calls these two functions? (UnlockLevelExit, LevelCompleted) These look fine but, of course, won’t be run until they are called from somewhere… You should track down what code calls these functions and check to make sure that they are working correctly.
Thanks so much. I tried hard to solve this, and I was missing those lines in my PlayerStatus script to activate those functions. Good call, and thanks for being patient with me.
