I am trying to make a board game where the draw from question bank opens to a light box and randomly draws a question for discussion. It is for a face-to-face game using a tablet as a board. The way the score is tracked is for each user to drag their marker around the board.
Upon completeing the discussion on the question the players select a FINISHED button and return to the board . When they select the next question button, it keeps showing the same question as before. Only if I close and reopen the presentation do I get a new question. I have all the revisiting set to reset to intial state.
I can get new questions to display if I add a RESTART course trigger, but then my markers go back to the beginning.
The drag and drop on the markers is another issue...that I will work on next.
When they select the next question - are they clicking on a new button? Did you add another trigger to that to jump to the question bank slide draw? Or is it all the same system? Is the "finish" button associated with a submit trigger for the question? Are the questions locked in a particular order?
I've also seen some odd behavior when elements like this are in a lightbox, as the user gets trapped in the lightbox - have you tried it outside of that?
It appears to behave the same lightboxed or not and as Jim mentions, only by restarting the course do you see a new question display. I'm not sure what the answer is for this one.
There are just 3 questions but it repeats the same question unless I restart the game in which case the markers go back to zero. I have tried inserting a reset quiz trigger but since the questions have no answers to choose from there is nothing to assign it to.

Hi Jim,
When they select the next question - are they clicking on a new button? Did you add another trigger to that to jump to the question bank slide draw? Or is it all the same system?

I was going to suggest that the lightbox might be the problem. I know variables do not update when you try and adjust them from a lightbox.

This must be a bug.
Here is the game so far http://www.devedinternational.net/nwc/crazy/story.html
