Cannot get trigger to work with Drop Correct states of multiple objects

Aug 31, 2020

I am designing a slide to allow learners to play around with the formula c = f * lambda (speed of light = freq * wavelength). 

There is a text box "C" that should only go into a rectangle "C Box".

The F and L (short for lambda) are trickier. I want to allow learners to drop a text box "F" into either a rectangle "F Box" or "L Box", and similarly allow them to drop a text box "L" into either a rectangle "F Box" or "L Box". That is because f*lambda or lambda*f should both be allowed.

  1. When learners drop the "F" text box into rectangle "F Box", I changed the state of "F Box" to Normal.
  2. When learners drop the "L" text box into rectangle "F Box", I changed the state of "F Box" to Drop Correct.
  3. When learners drop the "L" text box into rectangle "L Box", I changed the state of "L Box" to Normal.
  4. When learners drop the "F" text box into rectangle "L Box", I changed the state of "L Box" to Drop Correct.

Finally, I want to play an audio and also resume timeline when either one of the two conditions below is true:

  1. All rectangles have the state Normal
  2. Both F Box and L Box have the state Drop Correct and C Box has the state Normal.

However, I am having trouble achieving the correct behavior. 

Please help!

Hi Jason, the easiest way I could find to do this was to assign a variable to each of the correct options cbox, fbox, lbox. Then as each of the items were correct/incorrect set those variables to true/false. You can then add a trigger to play the final correct and resume timeline based on the changing of cbox, fbox and lbox and when they change, check if all are "true", and if so, play final correct/resume. See attached file for a working solution.
