Multiple hint captions in a simulation Feb 19, 2014 By Karen Sugalski Hi, I created a software simulation and I want to add multiple hint boxes as follows: User clicks incorrectly first time, hint 1 is shown (try again) User clicks incorrectly a second time, hint 2 is shown (click here) Of course if the user clicks correctly at any time the simulation advances. How do I do this? Still don't quite have actions and variables down. Thanks Karen

Please try again" prompt that comes from the Tray Again layer And when you say hint 2, click here, you mean the hint caption that comes from the Hint Caption Layer, such as If so, here's one thing you could try...worked when I tested it The Try Again button on the Try Again layer has a visited state. That means, when this button appears and users click it, that state will be enabled. So, you can set up a trigger on the Try Again layer that says to Show the Hint Caption layer when the timeline starts on the Try Again layer on condition the Try Again button = visited. This would of course need to be done for all slides. I don't know of a global way to set this up.... Please shout out with any questions.

The Try Again button on the Try Again layer has a visited state. That means, when this button appears and users click it, that state will be enabled.
So, you can set up a trigger on the Try Again layer that says to
Show the Hint Caption layer
when the timeline starts
on the Try Again layer
on condition
the Try Again button = visited.
