I have been working on this program for over 20 hours. I am weird it has been almost straight through. This solution came not after being intelligent enough to solve it through a process of cognition rather just hard headed trial and error. This post is to help everyone who has had a similar problem searched in vain and...

OPACITY is the key. While I was using the Boolean, setting it to "ask user yes and no," setting it to true, taking the Boolean=true & animal = name, I gave no thought to the opacity of my animals or the opacity of my names.

Hence setting the Boolean=true & animal.opacity=1 & name.opacity=1 will create a proper if/else which leads to the above being true. The animal and name opacity can be set up through their entirety to run the full logical scheme.

So, when programming in Alice, be sure to look at opacity when objects are invisible.
