Question

I have a question, which might be very nooby, but I have been stuck on it for the last 3 days. I have a method called ApplyRules, which is used very frequently so I can’t define a bool inside of it, but when I try to define it outside of the method, it doesn’t read it. Here is my code:

public bool solvedp1 = false;

    public static void ApplyRules()
    {

        if (Level.Rooms[0, 0].GetItem("Red Gem") != null
            & Level.Rooms[1, 0].GetItem("Blue Gem") != null
            & solvedp1 == false)
        {
            Console.Clear();
            Console.WriteLine("You put the gem in its correct place. As soon as the gem is in position, you feel a shiver and a warm feeling enters your toes and passes through your whole body. The strange feeling in the room is gone. You hear a lock unlocking and a door shrieking as it opens..");
            Console.WriteLine("Press enter to continue");
            Console.ReadKey();
            solvedp1 = true;
        }

Try this:

//Make this static so it is accessible to your ApplyRules() method.
public static bool solvedp1 = false;

public static void ApplyRules()
{
    if (Level.Rooms[0, 0].GetItem("Red Gem") != null
        & Level.Rooms[1, 0].GetItem("Blue Gem") != null
        & solvedp1 == false)
    {
        Console.Clear();
        Console.WriteLine("You put the gem in its correct place. As soon as the gem is in position, you feel a shiver and a warm feeling enters your toes and passes through your whole body. The strange feeling in the room is gone. You hear a lock unlocking and a door shrieking as it opens..");
        Console.WriteLine("Press enter to continue");
        Console.ReadKey();
        solvedp1 = true;
    }
}
