Create thing false, set thing true question

So I created at the start of the page

*create fist false

and later down the path I have

*set fist true

Keep going and I get to a point where I put in

*if fist true
–*goto_scene nameofscene

It doesn’t go to the scene though. Instead it comes up with this message:

startup line 365: Invalid expression at char 9, expected OPERATOR, was: VAR [true]

What did I do wrong?

try *if (fist = true)

@Pyromanci Thank you!

Other ways of coding that would also work:

*if fist = true

*if fist

*if (fist)

And when you want something to be conditional on it being false, you can put:

*if fist = false

or

*if not(fist)
