i would like to know why this isnt working and how i may be able to fix it

 

[The Stealthinator]

[woodscrews]

what would you like to know, im not sure what it is you need to know

 

[The Stealthinator]

I don't get your opening post.

What is in the spoilers?

 

[woodscrews]

the first spoiler has the variable declaration and initiation, the second attempts to jump to to a different scene. essentially im trying to impliment a basic history system in the project, with the first frame of some scenes setting this variable so they can jump back to that scene from elsewhere.
