Help with making unlockable characters

I am trying to make it so certain characters cannot be selected at the start of the game and have to do something to unlock them. I have tried making a variable for them being unlocked and have it set to 0 at creation of the selection button and if the variable=1 when it is clicked it creates the actor. It creates it no matter what when i click it. i even set left arrow to make it = 0 to test and it still creates it. Does anyone know what to do?

one thing i have used before is a variable and an other actor lets say a gray square make it around 50 % transparent and once you reach your goal use the variable and script editor to deystroy that gray square covering you new feture. if you need a demo i could make one...

Well I went ahead and made a rough demo. hopefully it has the Style of Unlock-able Object you need.
If it isn't then explain a bit more on your situation, and i'll be able to create a demo with much more value to you.

Explanation of The Posted Demo...

I simply created an actor similar to the one covering, but I used the Gray Color Scale.
I Took The Gray Copy And Made it As close to 50% Transparency as i could.
After That It's just a simple destroy Cover Actor When my arrow collides with Brick. and Create Cover Actor When Arrow is Collide Free of Brick.

I Hope This Info Was Useful to you,
Dellzby :D

I need something that is locked or unlocked depending on a variable because it needs to be able to save which characters are unlocked.
