Have you tried using X as any other number other than zero for the link restriction? Also, link scripts gets executed when you click the link, and page scripts execute when the page loads. 

... I literally cannot process this for some reason. I'm willing to help, but you're either gonna have to explain a different way or show me.

Basically, he's trying to use a variable for the link restriction, and it's not working out well for him. He's using the value zero for his variable, for the link restriction, and I thought maybe that was why it wasn't working properly, and told him to use any other values. If that still won't work, I guess he'll have to find out whether the value is actually the value he wanted it to be or not. And if the value is the value that he was trying to get for the link restriction, and it still doesn't work, then I would tell him to check the link restriction to make sure that he's setting it to the value that he wanted to restrict it by. 

Using 0 shouldn't be a problem, though. Although he could try "less than one" as the restriction instead. Sometimes if the editor's glitching, it's better to try a work around like that...

I had the same problem as you. What if you tried...
IF %X = [number] THEN $PAGEDEST := @P[number]

(probably written incorrectly, but hopefully it still makes sense)

^ goes into the link script, to be clear--though that could be problematic depending on the links / pages. (Not in a technical way.)

Yeah, that was an important detail I probably should have stated. Thanks, Kiel.

Np.

Script Code Reference. Page scripts are the last scripts to be run, meaning they are executed after links are restricted and even after on-page coding is processed. You'll likely need to use a link script.

What BD said. Basically,

Link Script changes to Variable happen as you click the link and go into the new Page.

Page Script changes to Variable are the same - meaning that they happen as you leave the Page you are on (just like when you click a link).

In other words, you can't use a Page Script to set Link Restriction on the same Page.
