Dynamic results meter with a lot of increments
May 08, 2019
Hi! First thanks so much to this community and all the existing discussions on building dynamic result meters! I have built some for a quiz and they working quite well.
I want to show more incremental results though and would love others opinion on the best plan of attack for this. Currently I have this built with states and have chunked the results in groups of 5. I could of course build 26 states for each of the 3 graphs and set the relevant triggers for each one, but that seems like too many states and triggers in one place. Would that be bad practice? Should I leverage java script for it?
The working draft of the quiz is here. And a preview of the draft results page is attached as well as the draft SL file. I appreciate all thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!

Try using sliders
1. Make the figures transparent, with a white background (I used paint.net). This covers all of the slider, except the part that shows through the figures.
2 Use a large block of plain color for the thumb fill and white for the track fill.
3 Set the sliders to access your three variables.
4. Edit the states of the three ranges, deleting the graphics, and leaving the text. (I didn't do this yet)
Walt for the win! That worked wonderfully. Only three triggers needed to have each graph capable of changing in increments of one. Thanks so much!!
