    Hello guys. The code above is from a game i'm making but i'm having issues with my update function.
    I tried out a lot of solutions but nothing seems to help.
    At first i had public Texts which were updated using the update function of this script, but the second "if statement" sometimes worked and sometimes didnt.
    So my issue is, the first *if(primary.Equals("mines"))* statement works just fine all the time, but the second *if(secondary.Trim().Equals("beacons"))* statement work like for 2/10 times i run the game.
    writing it as *if(secondary.Equals("mines"))* didnt seem to work as well...Any suggestions?
