Help with variables

Oct 19, 2015

Can someone please help? here is the setup. the learner lands on a page. From here there are 5 subtopics to be viewed before the next button is displayed. (this is where I'm stuck) I'm not using the Storyline player - these are all custom slides.

I know I have to use variables to identify that all 5 subtopics have been viewed (True or False value) but I'm not sure how to proceed. Unfortunately I have not done anything with variables so far.

Thanks in advance

Tom

Hi Tom,

If you are going to invite them to click on each sub-topic (?) from five buttons, in any order, on the landing page then you'll need to:

Create a 'Visited' state for each sub-topic button
Put each sub-topic on its own layer
Create a 'Disabled' state for your Next button = its Normal state
Add a Trigger on the Base layer which sets the state of the Next button to 'Normal' if (Condition) sub-topic 1,2,3,4 and 5 have all been Visited.

Hope this helps!
