For Context, I am creating a Rock Paper Scissors app for my AP class. I was in the midst of developing a best of three feature when I noticed that my labels were not changing their texts and that my alerts weren't appearing. Could someone help with this issue? I have screenshots of my code below.
This will be hard to debug without knowing how you set "global Bot_Index" and "global Index".
Since you can tie, you should use a variable that counts the number of decisive games, and have a while loop that runs as long as that number is not more than 3.
Both Indices are set by a list. The bot will pick a random number between 1 to 3. The player is given their options between rock paper and scissors. So what you are saying is to create a variable that keeps track of how many wins the bot vs the player has? I can include screenshots of the code if that would help with diagnosing the issue.
Sorry about that. I misinterpreted "best of 3" as a requirement of 3 wins to win the game.
It would indeed help if you could provide screenshots of you setting the variables.
Since you are working off of global variables for your input, you should be able to single step through your code using the Do It facility.
Beware of using the '=' test for end of game detection.
You want to allow for overshoot, so use '>' instead.
Otherwise, your test is paper thin.

This is the Bot selection procedure:
Player Selection:
List Values:
I'd like to clarify that I also have parameters in my procedure, which are required for my project. I am unsure if that complicates anything with the Do It facility.
Why the if/then/elseif?
After you assign a random number 1-3 to the global variable, you are going to call that procedure regardless.
I'm sorry for the late response. Went on spring break and barely paid any attention to the forum. Would just setting this to a procedure call fix my code?
Show botPictureChange procedure, you should have calls to set labels and alerts ?
This procedure is working fine. The code I have listed in my first original post is the one having issues.
Nothing in your blocks shows any changes to labels or calling of alerts
Yes, it does call the alerts. Disregard the Labels.
I didn't scroll up far enough 
However, where do you call this bestof procedure ?
I have a button that the user clicks to indicate that he/she wants to play against the bot in a best of three match. This is the only place I use the procedure.
Useful code, but I do need to be using my own code. All I need is to fix the issue with my Best of Three procedure as the AP class I am in requires a procedure with a parameter. Unless you have a suggestion for another way to use a parameter in my app?
Upload your aia project here, instead of showing partial screenshots of blocks, then maybe someone here can see what is going wrong...
