How to not count click on help layer as an attempt in a test mode exercice

Jul 01, 2021

Hi all,

I'm making a test mode exercice where the learner will have 3 attempts on each slide to find the correct clickable zone.

I add an instructions layer which is always accessible anytime to learners. My problem is that when I click on the button to display this instructions layer, my click is counted as an attempt which falsifies my counter.

Does anyone have a solution? Probably a variable to not count this click as an attempt but I don't know how to write it.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, Maxime, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨

Thank you for sharing what you're trying to accomplish!

I'm looking forward to what our talented community members will suggest for your specific scenario, but here's what I'd recommend:

  • Create a layer for your instructions button (we'll call it Info_button). 
  • On your base layer, add a trigger to show the Info_button layer when the timeline starts.

  • On your Info_button layer, add a trigger to show the Information layer when the button is clicked.
  • For the layer properties, check the option to hide other slide layers in your Info_button layer, but uncheck it in your Information layer.
