Button and varable

Hi Gustav,

You can always add some extra logic to your trigger by adding conditions

In your trigger click on conditions

To add a condition clikc on the green +

You can add as many conditions as you like

By adding this extra logic, you'll achieve what you xant to achieve

Yes I know about the Add Trigger Condition but I dont know how to forulate that condition?

Hi Gustaf,

Just add condition if K2 equal to 0 to the button's trigger.

Hope it helps,

Hi Aelex.

Not sure it that helps as that only would apply to the first button. If the user has klicked on two of the buttons the value is 2. If then clicking on button three values is three the condition you suggest would erase the counting.

Sorry about that, you had not specified that the other buttons could be clicked at any time...

It that case, you can do the following :

1) Set a 2nd variable, this time a True/False one (lets call this K3) with an initial value of true.
2) Set a trigger when Button 1 is clicked to add +1 to K2 if (condition) K3 is true.
3) Set a trigger when Button 1 is clicked to change value of K3 to false.

That ought to do it.

Alex

Thx Alex.

That would do it.

The easier approach is to set the condition around the state of the button, instead of using more variables.  Your conditional statement would be similar to:

Add 1 to K2 if the state of "Button 1" is not equal to Visited

or

Add 1 to K2 if the state of "Button 1" is equal to Normal

Once the user clicks the button, the button state should change to Visited and prevent the variable from incrementing again.  You'll also want to ensure that Storyline does not reset the slide when you return to it to preserve the button states.
