I am working on creating a time management course for college students. We are looking to incorporate a similar concept found on this website: http://www.studygs.net/schedule/ where users will type in the hours they spend on activities and "time" will slip away on the pie chart to showcase how they spend their day.
I am new (6 months in) to E-Learning and building courses in Storyline and I can't quite seem to figure out how to create this interaction. ANY advice would be welcomed and truly appreciated.
An interaction like this would require some simple math and custom states for the 'time slices', but it's not too difficult to set up. Here is a rough example with four time categories: http://dev.keypointlearn.com/xcl71_SL/TimePie/V1/story.html. All the math is done on a separate layer, which is called when the Enter key is pressed. Based on the calculated number of remaining hours, a specific custom state of the 'time pie' element is shown. See attached the .story file. Hope that gets you started.
Michael (or anyone willing to take a look for me) - would you mind taking a look to see what I am missing here? I am able to get the first 4 to calculate when I hit enter, but not the others. Thank you SO much in advance!
Hi Kayte, you were VERY close . You had added the required triggers to the calculateLayer, they were just not in the right ORDER (triggers are executed in order top to bottom). I rearranged them, so that all date entries are added up BEFORE the remaining hours are calculated.
Hi there! I am looping back on this piece of my project and was wondering if there was any remedy to the attached picture. If a user types in a letter the "NaN" shows up in the box and on the chart...I understand the user can just click delete or backspace and it will go away, but I am curious if there is a way to limit the box only to numbers so the "NaN" response isn't even an option? Again, probably a rookie question Thanks for any help!
Here is some info on a possible option to check for invalid values and correct them. There is no easy, built-in way to prevent alphanumeric inputs into a numeric data field.

This is perfect - thank you so much Michael!

Wow - what a rookie mistake! Haha. Thanks again for your help!
Happens to all of us Katye, but I'm glad Michael was able to get you sorted out.
