Drag And Drop Dilemma

Hi Rients and welcome to Heroes! 

The variable methods are the best ones I've seen, although not particular "easy" especially if you're just getting started with Storyline. Variables take a bit to learn (at least for me it did!) and I started by reviewing the tutorials here  and then testing out some of the examples shared here in the community. Once I played around with them and made changes to the variables and saw how that impacted my course, it started to make a bit more sense.  

If you have a sample started for what you'd like to do, and you're able to share it here - the community is generally really helpful in terms of offering advice and even starting the set up to help you out. I also saw this video posted the other day where a community member does a pretty comprehensive explanation of variables. 

Hi Rients,

I attached my solution here.

Basically I didn't select any targets in my solution. Instead, I left the target items empty, and created my own submit button to check to see if the answer is correct. 

The solution is simple, using only 4 variables and some associated triggers. 

It would be easier if you see it first then bring up questions if you do.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Hi Ashley and Cheng,

thanks a lot for helping me out. I can really appreciate all the efforts.

Anyway, looking at the tutorials and video's really helped. Also the example from Cheng gave me a better view of variables. Slowly I am starting to understand. 

Anyway, I occurred another problem, maybe you can tell me what I am doing wrong.

I managed to set the layers right, my project now recognizes which answers are correct and which are incorrect. Strangely my result slide won't recognize the score, the result slide now shows always 100 points, even when the answer was wrong. I am trying to find where I went wrong but it is still all new for me.. Have a look at what I made until now. The layout is just for trying so that's why it looks so simple!

Thanks again for your responses

Rients

Rients,

Since you keep the default submit button, and you didn't select any drop targets for these items, you will always get 100 points no matter what. 

That's why I didn't use the submit button in my example and created a customized button myself.

Cheers,

Cheng

You beat me to it Cheng.

Rients,  it's considering the question completed and correct, based on there being no official "correct" drop targets, so any place you drop it is considered correct.
