I have a requester who wants me to count the number of incorrect clicks on a screen before showing the correct choices. Any ideas on how to do this? I already have it set up to show incorrect when they click outside of the hotspots.
Sounds the perfect use for a (numeric) project variable. Define an incorrect target (hotspot, shape, etc) then use a trigger to Adjust (add) a value (1). Remember to create a trigger on the base layer to Assign a value (0) to the variable at time line startup.
Hi, Patricia -- Thanks for reaching out and I see that Brian has stopped in to assist you! Hopefully his idea will do the trick, or even though this article was originally written for SL1, perhaps it will shed a little more light on the process of Building a Simple Counter. :)
Is there any way to include number of clicks in quiz results? I'm inserting a simulation into a course and say it should only take 8 clicks to get through it, but the user clicks 16 times to figure it out, is there a way to prompt the failed quiz result?
I inserted a "failed" layer, triggered by my numeric variable, to appear at the end of the simulation if a user has clicked more than 10 times. But then my quiz layer will appear immediately after giving me passing results.
Hi, Carrie -- Thanks for reaching out, and while I am not aware of a way to accomplish what you have described, perhaps others in the community might have some suggestions to assist. And you are also welcome to reach out with your question in our Building Better Courses forum here, as well. :)

Thanks, Christie! I'll go ahead and post there!
