I am trying to create a sort of personality quiz, but rather than choosing from a list of options, the user selects 10 traits from maybe about 20 options, which are in flashcard style (they click the cards they align with). The traits map to categories which are revealed in the end. The key difference here from the standard personality quiz is that options are not pinned against each other, so it's not like "Are you A, B, C, or D". Rather, it's "Which 10 are you from this list of 20"? Any tips on how to achieve this?
To do that strictly in Storyline, you'd need to use variables to track what cards/traits are selected. Then, to display the result, you'd need to use triggers with conditions based on which cards were selected.
You'd also need a LOT of patience to create all those triggers. There are so many possible combinations a user could select, and you'd have to program for all of them.
And you'd need to add extra programming (more variables and conditions) to ensure the user selects exactly 10 cards.
Doable? Yes. But my advice is to rethink the approach.
