Hi - I have a project with 4 interactions: drag/drop, text entry, likert scale survey and radio buttons. I'd like to be able to capture the individuals responses and display them later in the course as images or lightbox slides. I have figured out the text entry and I think I can do the drag/drop but am stumped on the likert and radio buttons without creating a zillion variables.
Assign a variable (true/false type) to each avatar. So for instance, say my first avatar is called Pic 1 and the second is Pic 2. Then I will create variables called Pic_1_Selected and Pic_2_Selected and set the value to 'False'
Create a trigger to change the values of the variables to True when a particular avatar is selected. So if select Pic 1 as my avatar, then the value of Pic_1_Selected will become True Include all the avatars on the page where you want the avatar to be displayed and change their state to Hidden. On the same slide where you have these avatars add a trigger which changes the state of an avatar to Normal if the value of the associated variable is True. So for example, if I have selected Pic 1 in the previous slide, then I will get to see Pic 1 on the current slide because its state has changed to normal.
I used an alternative (true/false) if they dropped the item on the spot. The learner does not have to choose all of these, Will your method work with that?
Here's the slides I'm trying to make work - the drag and drop and the radio buttons are not working, I have variables for all and trying to use the state change trigger. I'm missing something, if you can give me advice that'd be great.
but changed the likert to a series of sliders and can make it work and the text entry works (just need to double check the reference numbers).

For the drag and drop - I tried using the method in this post: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/drag-and-drop-avatar-using-result-later. It didn't work right out of the gate, but wondering if I should keep trying. What do you think?
This is one way you can do it:

Thanks Matthew - I've fixed them all now and they display just fine! Appreciate your extra set of eyes!
