Changing States based on Variables

Dec 05, 2012

Hello everyone

I am new to Storyline and am a little stuck! I have created a course with several scenes, the first one contains a contents slide with buttons. I am trying to get the states on those buttons to change based on whether the learner has successfully completed the quiz on each scene/section:

I have added triggers to the contents page to change the state of say Button 1 if Results = pass but I can't get it to work and wonder if it is possible to get those states to change in this way. Basically I only want the learner to be able to proceed to scene 2 if they have successfully completed scene 1, so I only want those buttons to become active if this is the case.

Can anyone give me ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

To find out the right variable for that slide open the result slide options, and check the option to show the score, this will show which one is the correct variable.

Wow, amazing! That's got it! I had the wrong variable all along, how silly do I feel now. I was confused because the first scene is actually referenced as '5.' - this is where I had changed the order around, so I had made the assumption that Results5 was the correct one, but now it was actually just Results.

Sounds so obvious now ... thanks so much. I won't make that mistake EVER again.

It's working beautifully now, also I have picked up some great tips from the support you have given me. This forum is great and you've been so helpful.

I can go to sleep now soundly - this has been keeping me up for weeks!
