  if this helps, this is my inlineScript:

  if var.box_pos == var.arrow_cue:
  var.valid_pos = 'true'
  else var.valid_pos = 'false'

  if var.box_pos != var.arrow_cue:
  var.invalid_pos = 'true'
  else var.invalid_pos = 'false'

  it might be a problem that I do not have anything in the "prepare" window. I only have it in the "run" window... What should go in the "prepare" tab?

  Hi,

  It's never too late to start learning how to code. There are plenty of nice Python tutorials online.

  Your mistake, is that you don't adhere to Python's indentation rules and that and else is always followed by a colon. Also, your code is a little convoluted. I simplified it a little, can you see the difference? This is how it should look:

  # I hope I interpreted your intentions correctly
  if var.box_pos == var.arrow_cue:
      var.valid_pos = True
      var.invalid_pos = False
  elif var.box_pos != var.arrow_cue:
      var.invalid_pos = True
      var.valid_pos = False
  

  As a side note, if you want to use booleans (True, False and such), you have to use True and Falseand not the string trueand false.

  Eduard
