Clicking a button multiple times to activate various triggers

May 30, 2016

Hi guys,

I need to show a congratulations slide when learners go through all the correct slides of five scenes. I've set a number variable 'Correctanswer' in the default state of 0 and set a trigger to add 1 each time learner clicks on the Continue button of the correct slide. 

On the last correct slide (correct slide of fifth scene) in addition to the add 1 trigger I have also set a trigger on the Continue button to show the 'Congratulations' slide with the condition that Correctanswer==5. Now, when I preview it I have to click this button at least 5 times to see the Congratulations slide, which I think might frustrate learners. I also want to add a trigger to this same Continue button to take them to a 'Review your answers' slide with another variable. I'm not sure how that would work. Any thoughts on how to achieve this? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Can I ask if you are previewing the slide (correct slide 5th scene) on it's own or are you previewing the entire course?

The behavior you mention sounds like the 'correctanswer' variable is still at 0 - therefore requiring the 5 clicks. This would be the case if previewing a single slide as the variable will only be at it's default '0' state.

If previewing as an entire course - could you post the story file so we can see what's happening?

I'll give you some more context. I want learners to get a piece of a puzzle when they visit the 'Correct Conclusion' slide of each scene. There are five such scenes. At the end of the 'Correct Conclusion' slide of the fifth scene, I want to take them to Puzzle Completion slide, on the condition that they have visited the 'Correct conclusions' of all five scenes. 

There are also 'Incorrect Conclusion' slides which allows learners to continue but at the end of the fifth scene I want to take the learners to a Review your Answers slide which takes them back to the beginning of the first scene. I've used number variable to track this and am having trouble with it, but there any other way to achieve this other than using Number variables? Perhaps True/False?

Can you make sure and set the 'jump' triggers on each slide to after the set 'answer' variables trigger. On a number of slides the 'jump' triggers before the 'set variable'. This means that your 'correctanswer' and 'incorrectanswer' variables are not incremented before your course jumps slides. Storyline will perform a trigger in sequence. A jump trigger in effect breaks the sequence you want on the slide.
