Help with a funeral builder (variables)
Oct 22, 2018
I need to count some variables for a funeral website I'm making, this seems the right tool for me to visually do what I want and I just know that variables will do the trick here, but I can't get it to work.
Can you help me?
The idea is that each item you add to the funeral builder adds a cost, if you take the item away it subtracts the value. Trouble is it will only add, not subtract the variable.
I know you guys will be able to help in a flash! I've added the .story file and the sample of it is here:

One other thing I can't get is the coffin chooser, it lets me click the button and adds 450 to the cost but it won't let me add more actions to the button. It is on a new layer, is 360 unable to add buttons inside layers?
Any help would be amazing guys! I uploaded the working file so you can dissect my work!
See attached file that I changed so that the fee is recalculated everytime a selection is changed. The slider variable on the layer works, I added a textbox both on the layer and on the baselayer to check that. I'm not sure how that selection impacts the fee.
Oh Wow! that is awesome michael. Great to get such amazing help on this. I get to look at what I done wrong...
I love how you made the coffin choice work, how on earth did you get the button on the coffin to work? I still can't seem to see how you done that lol
The button always worked, I just didn't know how the selection on the layer would impact the fee.
Neat example, Chris and oddly enough just in time for Halloween...? 😉
Glad Michael was able to help you out.
Yes the actual job is very random. The client wants a totally different approach to funerals Lets say he is putting the FUN back into Funerals ;)
I'm still unsure how Michael was able to do the triggers on the buttons. They add 455 to the price, but when you uncheck the amounts again they reset.
I will upload a fresh build of what he done to the link here:

Note Michael was able to call the variable to the screen to make note on what coffin was chosen. It is the cost now I want to add.
Eg .
coffin one is 455
coffin two is 555
and so on.
I'd love a reset button, so I'm going to make one called standard coffin at 455 that you can override with. Any ideas on how to apply the buttons to each layer?

if you want to look at the current version.
I'm not quite sure if this is what you want but have a look at the attached version.
Wow - I feel bad now, you kinda done my job for me! I really appreciate that, I love reading what you done to learn how to do it!
I'd made this version : http://thehillschurch.co.uk/funeral2/story_html5.html
But I can copy over your trigger changes and finally get it to work!
Words I never thought I'd read... I'm really glad Michael was able to help you out here!
Life is interesting here in Ireland. What can I say lol.
I'm truly grateful for the help. My brain was turning around slowly.
