I originally used 1-4 like I did for the mode dictionaries, not realizing that the ints were so important; I figured they were just keys in the dictionary and that they could be anything, it was just easier to use ints. Now, I have changed my globals to 20-23 and everything seems to be going well.

Sorry, could you explain why you suggested this? I do not follow. Because of the if statement "if action_to_take:", I figured it was saying "if action_to_take was successfully set" or something else having a boolean value.
