Error Message when using multiple fill-in-the-blank entries in a quiz

Never mind... I figured it out, thanks.

The "Submit action Pick One 1 - "Pick One"..." trigger that Storyline 2 made when I did the Pick One quiz had to be placed below all the others in the list of triggers.

It works fantastic now! I knew it had to be something simple.

My thanks to Jeanette Brooks for the initial instruction video!!!!

Thanks for the update Jon and glad you got everything working well! 

I'm having a similar problem and I could really use some help with someone explaining to me the step of selecting "text entry. " I think this may be where i keep having issues? I've followed the tutorial that explains how to set up a pick one in free form. (love it). But i am somehow missing a step.

The error i am getting is that my response is always correct. Even when i type an incorrect answer.

I've attached the test it is #35.  Thank you so much for anyone who can help me understand what exactly i am doing wrong.

Hi Kandice,

Thanks for sharing the .story file here. Your triggers are set up to check the value of a text variable you have set with the default value of "log off" - which is one of your correct answers. What you'll need to do instead if have your correct/incorrect triggers check the value of the "textentry" variable on that slide - as that is where the user is entering text and their response being captured.

Also, for your correct trigger you'll want to use the "or" condition as it seems there are multiple possible answers, and it also seems you've got multiple possible variables it could match. No need for those variables, as you can set what the "textentry" variable should match too. 

Thank you Ashley for your help! Okay, I made those changes and now I am getting a "you answered that correct" on correct answers, but on incorrect answers i am getting the "invalid answer" rather than the "you did not answer that correct."

I think i set up the text entry part right this time (still on question #35 in the test), but i am now wondering if the "and/or" conditions are wrong? I did change the correct trigger to "or" since there are multiple acceptable answers, and i changed the incorrect trigger to "and". Is that the problem?  I've attached it to show you. thanks again!

Hi Kandice

normally the OR trigger would be on the incorrect selections. If they select a or b or c and any one of those are not correct it should return the incorrect layer

Hey Wendy, that is what i thought too, but when i change it to the OR option on the incorrect trigger, correct answers then give the message as "incorrect- you did not select the correct response." 

So i am stumped.

Let me take a look at your file

Okay thank you!

Your incorrect trigger has an 'equals' condition instead of 'not equal' and an AND instead of an OR and you have two log off should one of those be logout

'

Still working on it...I think it may also have to do with when the control loses focus and the order of triggers...still playing.

Just confirm the correct answer can be any one of these four?

log off

log out

logoff

logoff computer

or should logout be included too?

Okay, correct answer options are:

log off

log out

logoff (*as one word in case they misspell)

log off computer

yes let's include logout (as one word as well)

Ok here is updated file - see if this works for you.  Because you had conditions that could both be OR I have rearranged the triggers a little.

Hope this helps

Whoops - glad Wendy caught my mistake saying "Or" vs "And" - as you can see it's a lot to learn and still confuses me! It looks like she's got your file set up correctly now, and if you need anything else please feel free to let us know! 

Wendy,

Thank you for your help! I hadn't seen the incorrect trigger set as a shape trigger before.  Interesting. Thank you for your help!!!!

No problem - hope it worked how you wanted.
