Anyone who has used a Quizzing Results Slide knows that Storyline contains some internal variables (%Results.ScorePercent%, %Results.ScorePoints%, %Results.PassPercent% and %Results.PassPoints%).
Are there any other internal variables available?
In particular, I would like the current slide number as a variable.
I don't think there's an internal variable for this - the distinction in the output is made by (seemingly random) ID's. Your best bet is to create a couple of number variables and set a couple of triggers - one for scene number and one for slide number, when timeline starts.
Yah, I thought of that or just doing it manually with static numbers. The only problem with triggers that playing the same slide multiple times will causes a slide number miscount. I suppose you could also account for that by establishing a True/False trigger for each frame but by that point static numbers are more practical.
Nicholas, to avoid having the slide number variable miscount, I would use the Assignment operator (not the +Add) in the trigger OR just use static numbers.

Hi Nicholas,

Hope this helps,
