Drag and drop object on any of the selected areas/ Uncheck checklist

Mar 22, 2021

Dear all,

I am working on 2 slides where I am having some issues. I'd appreciate any help with these slides.

Slide 1: I have a fridge, in which I insert food items. Triggers are added to make multiple areas of the fridge accessible to the same food but the result only shows correct if the food is placed as per the form view. Can anyone please tell me why I am facing this issue?

Slide 4: Everytime I uncheck a checklist I do not see the state changing to the previous one. Can anyone advice me with this one?

I thank you for all your support!! :)

Slide 1 This is the way  SL is designed. You use form view to set the correct answers.

Slide 4  Your triggers are set to show a state every time a box is clicked, whether it is selected or not. I see it doing that. So if you click them all in order, it shows the state of pepper because you clicked pepper last. Then if you uncheck Pepper, it shows pepper state, because you clicked the pepper box. If you then uncheck Basil, it will show Basil, because you clicked Basil box.   What action are you looking for?

Slide 1: I've heard that you make multiple areas to drop an item. I am attaching a picture of what I mean to say. It should show "correct" the way I've dropped the items but rather it shows "correct" only if the items are placed as per the form view, which should not be the case.

Slide 4: Every time I uncheck a box, I want the previous state to appear. When I click pasta, it shows pasta, but if I unclick pasta, it should show the previous state. Is it feasible??

Thank you!! :)

Your slide 4 question really comes down to why you want to do this. Reading your posts, I sense that you might be thinking that the learner will click and unclick the boxes in a set order, but the truth is that you will have to account for the possibility of them being clicked in any order or combination. That makes it very difficult to predict the previous state. 

If all you want to to show what basil, tomatoes, etc. look like, maybe the fastest method is to put those pictures in the hover state of the check boxes. The learner hovers over, sees the picture, moves the mouse, and it goes back tot he previous picture.

Another option that might work for you is to make the check boxes a button set. That way only one can be checked at a time, and checking a new one shows that picture, and at the same time unchecks the current one.

I guess it depends on your purpose in checking the boxes, and showing the pictures.
