How do I add two decimals to a trigger condition value?
Nov 19, 2014
Hi all,
In the course I am developing, I am using eight numeric entry boxes, in which participants need to enter a numeric value with two decimals. I want to add trigger conditions to these values, so the feedback slide with the correct answers will only appear when all eight numbers have been entered correctly. But now I'm having difficulties with adding the two decimals when I add the trigger condition value in the wizard:
When I enter the value with two decimals to the value box (for example 4.19) and click on 'OK', the value changes back to 4,00.
In the sidebar on the right, I am able to add decimals, see below:
But since only the first three values are visible, I am not able to add decimals to the other five values. I have already re-installed Articulate Storyline but that didn't make a difference. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Nienke!
I was not able to replicate this from my end in Storyline 1. Please confirm that you are working locally as described here.
You may also want to look into the steps here for erratic behavior in Storyline.
you could also attach the file here if you would like us to take a look.
Hi Nienke,
Are you on a system that uses the comma instead of the decimal? I can insert a decimal and two numbers after it - and it appears normally within the trigger panel. I cannot insert a comma into that section.
Hi Emily,
Thanks for your reply!
I am working locally and I have reinstalled Storyline as described. I'm still experiencing the problem however. I've just asked a colleague to try and on her computer doesn't work either. I've attached the slide below, could you take a look? Thanks in advance!
Hi Ashley,
I cannot insert a comma, but I am able to insert a dot. But when I click on 'ok', it seems like the system isn't able to save my changes. The two numbers behind the comma remain two zero's.
Hello Nienke!
When I open the file I only see the dot. I am also not able to add a comma, only a decimal point. The numbers behind do update and the decimal point stays in place.
As Ashley mentioned, could it be that you are using a system that does not use a decimal?
Hi Emily,
Thanks for checking! I'm using a Dutch version of Windows, and since the comma in Dutch is the same as the decimal point in English and the other way around, this might indeed be the problem. I've already changed the region setting in Windows to the US, do you have any advice what I should do next?
Thanks again!
Hi again,
I had to reboot my computer after installing the language package and now it works :)
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the update Nienke!
Glad this is working for you now.
Hello everybody,
I have a similar issue about this. I need to create a result slide with exactly the same trigger that Nienke uses here. But I want the student to write down different answers that could be correct. Is it possible ?
Thank you so much for helping me.
Hi Ruben,
Thanks for chiming in! Can you tell us more about how you want the student to write down different answers that could be correct? Could you give us an example of this?
With a bit more information, hopefully other folks in the community who have used a similar set up can point you in the right direction!
