    Basically what's supposed to happen is the player can walk up to a door of a building in a town (where a collider is) and press 'E' to change to that scene. But instead of the player needing to be in the collision trigger, they can press e from anywhere and transition scenes. So I just assumed that "innTrigger" is automatically being assigned as true for some reason. I appreciate all the help!!! :)

    Code (CSharp):
    1. using UnityEngine;
    2. using UnityEngine.UI;
    3. using System.Collections;
    4.  
    5. public class SceneChange : MonoBehaviour {
    6.    
    7.     public Text pressE;
    8.     public Collider Player;
    9.     public string Scene;
    10.     public bool innTrigger;
    11.  
    12.     void Start ()
    13.     {
    14.         pressE.text = "";
    15.         innTrigger = false;
    16.     }
    17.  
    18.  
    19.     void OnTriggerEnter (Collider Player)
    20.     {
    21.         innTrigger = true;
    22.         pressE.text = "Press 'E' to Enter";
    23.     }
    24.  
    25.     void Update ()
    26.     {
    27.         if (innTrigger = true)
    28.         {
    29.             if (Input.GetKeyDown ("e"))
    30.             {
    31.                 Application.LoadLevel (Scene);
    32.             }
    33.         }
    34.     }
    35.  
    36.     void OnTriggerExit (Collider Player)
    37.     {
    38.         innTrigger = false;
    39.         pressE.text = "";
    40.     }
    41. }
    42.

    if (innTrigger = true) should be if (innTrigger == true)

    Line 27.
    You have "=" which assigns true. You need "==" which compares. It will always return true the way you have it now.

    Im going to milk this even further.

    Change line 27 to
    Code (csharp):
    1. if(innTrigger == true)
    It is crucial to have TWO (2) equal signs!!!
