Storyline 3 - Next + 1; Jump to slide, next slide +1
Jul 03, 2020
Remarkable group! A pleasure, and relief, to be able to come here.
I am working in Storyline 3, Jun2020 version. I am trying to find a way to have a trigger that takes the player to one slide beyond the Next slide.
The implementation is for a quiz when the user answers correctly and gets taken to the Correct layer.
I want the user to have a choice:
Review the quiz (and so end up at the Review slide)
or
Continue to the next slide in the course.
As it is, the Next slide trigger goes to the Results slide so that works for the 'Review the quiz' choice. But I need a trigger for the 'Continue' choice that goes to the slide after the Results slide: Next + 1.
I can do this by selecting the actual slide as the destination. However, I am converting a large project from Studio 09, to take it into html5. It has many modules and dozens of stand alone quiz questions. Doing this for every question is time-consuming and error-prone. If there was a trigger I could set, I could simply copy the button to every question and all would be well.
Thanks!

Hi Rick,
There may be a fancy and more elegant way to achieve this, but I always like a simple option where possible.
In the attached example, I have set up a True/False variable called Jump, which is set to True when the user clicks on the Don't Review button. Both buttons jump the user to the next slide; however, the user is then jumped straight to the one after that if the variable Jump is equal to True. As the second jump is virtually instantaneous, the user barely notices the difference between one and two jumps and simply sees the required slide.
I have also set up another trigger so that when the timeline starts on the next slide, the variable Jump is reset to False. This enables the same variable to be used throughout your course as it will then be ready to be triggered again on completion of the next quiz.
All you need to do is:
a. Set up the variable
b. Set up the trigger on the Don't Review button for each quiz
c. Set up the trigger on each Quiz Review slide to jump to the next slide if the variable is True
d. Set up the trigger on the slide following each quiz Review slide to reset the variable
Hope this helps.
I like Ned's solution, especially if you masters and feedback master it would be easy to implement
May be easier to put the review on a layer instead.
Works very well! And thank you very much Ned for taking the time to not only explain but also develop an exemplary .story!
And thanks for the feedback Phil. I haven't had much luck getting buttons or custom text to work with Feedback Masters in Storyline 3. However, I only tried with the Jan20 release and have not tried again with the Jun20 release. Hopefully, my luck will change as that would make life SO much easier! Can you explain what you mean by putting the review on a layer? I know I can add a Review layer to get around the INCORRECT bar but I don't think that is what you are referring to.
I will continue to work on my knowledge of variables. Clearly, they have potential similar to being able to code, which opens up a much wider range of possibilities.
Again, thanks very much to both!
No problem Rick,
Happy to help and glad it worked :-)
