Hello,
Yes, absolutely! You can achieve this in Storyline (SL) using a combination of variables, triggers, and the built-in timer functionality. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to implement a time-elapsed slide in your quiz:
1. Create a Time-Elapsed Slide:
Design a slide that will appear when the 30-minute time limit is reached. This slide should clearly indicate that the time has expired.
2. Set Up a Timer Variable:
Create a numeric variable. Let's name it TimeRemaining.
Set the initial value of TimeRemaining to 1800 (30 minutes * 60 seconds). This represents the total number of seconds allowed.
3. Create a Timer on the First Quiz Slide:
On the first slide of your quiz (or any slide that initiates the timer), add a trigger:
Action: Adjust variable
Variable: TimeRemaining
Operator: Subtract
Value: 1
When: Timeline starts
Object: (The slide itself)
Condition: TimeRemaining is greater than 0.
Add a second trigger to the same slide:
Action: Jump to slide
Slide: (Your time-elapsed slide)
When: Variable changes
Variable: TimeRemaining
Condition: TimeRemaining is equal to 0.
Add a third trigger to the same slide:
Action: Adjust Variable
Variable: TimeRemaining
Operator: Subtract
Value: 1
When: Timeline Reaches
Time: 00:01 seconds
Object: (The slide itself)
Condition: TimeRemaining is greater than 0.
Repeat: Repeat every time.
4. Carry the Timer Across Quiz Slides:
On each subsequent quiz slide, add the following trigger:
Action: Adjust Variable
Variable: TimeRemaining
Operator: Subtract
Value: 1
When: Timeline Reaches
Time: 00:01 seconds
Object: (The slide itself)
Condition: TimeRemaining is greater than 0.
Repeat: Repeat every time.
Also, on each subsequent quiz slide add the trigger:
Action: Jump to slide
Slide: (Your time-elapsed slide)
When: Variable changes
Variable: TimeRemaining
Condition: TimeRemaining is equal to 0.
Explanation: e-zpassnh com
The TimeRemaining variable starts at 1800 seconds.
The first trigger on the first slide subtracts 1 from TimeRemaining every second the timeline runs, as long as TimeRemaining is greater than 0.
The second trigger on the first slide jumps to the time elapsed slide, when the TimeRemaining variable equals 0.
