Is there a limit to number of conditions we can use?

Sep 04, 2014

I have created a trigger using 4 conditions, and even though they are there when i go to edit my trigger,  in the trigger panel on the right of the screen I only see 3 of the conditions. When I test it out, it doesn't seem to be working. Is there a limit to the number of conditions we can use?

Thanks Emily! I'm posting the file. 

I'm just figuring Storyline out, and maybe there is a better way of doing what I have done here. But the task was to create a needs assessment checklist. There are 4 categories represented in the checklist. Each category has 3 questions associated with it (except for one which only has 2). Anyway, if a user selects 2/3  (1/2 for the exception) of any category, a text box has to show up for that item.

The way I did this was to create a layer for each possible combination. Then I created a variable to count the number of checkmarks for each category, and finally on the submit button I added triggers to show layers upon the conditions that 2/3 of x category was met, and so on. 

What happened was that the order of my triggers messed things up. So if a user clicked ALL items, then only 3 categories showed up instead of 4. That was because my ALL layer was not in the right location - the conditions for the other layer (showing 3 categories) were being met first so my ALL layer never got showed.

I do wonder, is there a more elegant solution for this? If this was more complex this would be hard to do.
