I know you can control how many times a question is attempted in Storyline, but can you also control how many times a quiz can be taken? Or do you have to use Quizmaker or LMS control for that?
This is an urgent question -- need for client today if possible.
This mirrors a question I have on the forum and helps a lot. However, one more little piece to the puzzle. Is there a way to make the 'Retry Quiz' button disappear or be disabled when user comes through with 3rd failure so they are not offered another retry but immediately see a screen that says 'strike 3, you're out' -- in a nice, civil way, of course! If so, how do I accomplish?
Yes there is! But the teacher in me (you can take the boy out of the classroom) must first ask you to type out what you want to have happen. In other words, "speak" it first. The key to Storyline is learning to express it's possibilities in common language. Once you understand the underlying logic, you'll be doing crazy cool things!
Use these Cues that correspond with the triggers:
ACTION (Change the state of)
TARGET (Retry Quiz Button)
WHEN
WHAT
IF
You do the final three and while you're doing that, I'll mock up an example.
Here you go Virginia. I suppose you really don't need to disable the retry quiz button is you're jumping straight to another screen, but I have it baked in just in case.
You still working this late? I think I may have it. Instead of counting number of times user clicks 'retry quiz', I am counting number of times results slide timeline starts and then jumping to 'shame' slide when counter reaches 3. How does that sound?
If it works, it sounds awesome! As you'll discover, there are usually 2 or 3 different ways to achieve the same outcome. The goal is typically to find the most elegant solution (something I still struggle with!).
Quick question, if this quiz is going onto a LMS where multiple users access it, will the "3rd time trigger" reset for each individual who will access the course?
In other words, if I have 10 users who need to take this, and user 1 fails 3 times and gets booted, will user 2 then be unable to take the quiz because it has already been accessed 3 times, or is SL already able to know a different user has accessed the same course? Could be a LMS issue instead but thought I'd ask.

Ellen,
The answer is yes. You can create a variable to track this.
Mike
Cool! How would I do this, please?
Thank you!
Ellen
Ellen,
That's a great question, and one that would take a couple of Screenrs! But here's a mock up for you to deconstruct and play with.
Pay attention to the trigger order on the results slide.
Enjoy!
Mike
Thank you, thank you! Appreciate the help, Mike!

Oops - just looked at your example - looks like great minds think alike. Thanks.
LOL.
You have reached the "SHAME SLIDE!"
This is great stuff guys, thanks for sharing!

Darren,
Typically, an LMS will serve up a fresh instance for each unique user, so this shouldn't be a problem.
