Hangman game – problem with triggering to slide layer

Hi Kimberly,

Great job on this game. You have lots of good triggers and variables. Love the audio that went along with it.

I think your issue was that you didn't reset your variable IncorrectGuessesVar for each slide. I added a trigger to set IncorrectGuessesVar to 0 for each slide. 

I think it solved your issue. Have a look.

One other tip, Trigger Order matters, especially when you have so many on the slide. I take the time to ensure the slide triggers occur first and everything happens in a logical order. I am not sure if it was a factor here but it is a good rule to consider. 

Mike,

Thanks so much!  It works perfectly and I really appreciate the feedback…it will help me with future projects.  I can’t take all the credit…I got the start of the idea from Gavin Innes post (https://community.articulate.com/e-learning-examples/storyline-2-advanced-hangman-game). He created and uploaded a 1-question hangman slide.  I just took it from there, made some modifications /additions and then – thanks to you, got it working with more than 1 question slide.  I am going to upload it to E-Learning Heroes so that others can use it too.

Hi, Kimberly -- Glad to hear that Mike was able to provide the assistance you needed! And in addition to examples already shared here, I thought I might stop in to pass along a few others hangman-related posts for others who may be interested:

• Storyline Hangman Demo
• Storyline 2: Simple Hangman Game
• Hangman Game Template
• Hangman Revisited or Creating a Non-Violent Storyline

Hope that helps! :)

Thanks Christie!  I actually had to make one more edit to the count variables.  So am uploading the working version here in case someone reads this post and wants to download the game.

Excellent, Kimberly -- always appreciated! :)
