Adjusting Variables on a per click basis

Hi Jason,

Without sounding rude, why are you using a variable here? By default, an MCQ has build in functionality to show the 'correct' and 'incorrect' layer depending on the users selection.

If I'm missing something here, please feel free to post a demo .story file.

Hey Antony,

No problem at all.  So the issue that the MCQ (Multiple Choice Question - I assume) doesn't address is that I have 12 slides with all different questions and at any point in the course if you choose 3 incorrect questions out of say 7 total questions, I  will send you back to the beginning of the course content to review the content once again...  The total wrong variable will allow me to track how many answers you've chosen incorrectly.

So without this ability I've created a custom counter for this circumstance and want an easy want to copy / paste it through out other sections of my course(s).

Any ideas? 

Ah, I see

Do the users only have 1 attempt at each MCQ (Multiple Choice Question)? If they do, I would have created 1 MCQ and added a trigger to the 'incorrect' layer that adds 1 to 'TotalWrong' when the timeline starts and then a second trigger that jumps to the start of the course when the user clicks 'next' on condition that 'TotalWrong' is equal to 3.

With the first MCQ set up this way, you would be able to duplicate the MCQ and the triggers etc. will carry forward - the variable applies to the whole course rather than a specific slide so it will update at any point you ask Storyline to do so.

That's exactly what I have now  Just curious is there is another way to do it.  Say for drag and drop, user input ect... more global catch all.

Hi Jason,

Could you create the variable and then apply the triggers to the incorrect feedback master so any quizzing slide you create will have the triggers applied to the incorrect layer by default?
