Pick Many Help in Storyline

Jul 26, 2022

My pick many works great!  I borrowed a Storyline template so I'm happy with that.  All the learner has to do is select and a check mark shows up in the correct answer with a trigger that tells them as much, then they select "continue" to move onto the next answer, etc. until 3/4 answers are selected (checked). 

How do I toggle the second answer off after it's been selected because it's wrong?


Also, how do I account for all 3 out of 4 answers that are correct so that the learner knows all of the ones they selected are correct and they can move onto the next slide?  Do I set up some kind of variables, or is there a trigger I set up that when all 3 answers are in "select" the learner is done with the slide and they can move onto the next slide?  I added a submit button, button so that once all the answers are correct they can submit and hopefully move to the next slide.  How do I ensure they can't submit until all 3 of the correct answers are selected?

Hi Wendy!  

I already have the congrats or wrong answer layer to display however they select.  I just wanted to figure out how to culminate the 3 answers (which I presume might require a variable) which then requires a trigger to the last slide.  But I've tried and tried writing a variable to add to 3, and I'm having trouble getting it to add to recognize all 3 answers have been selected and then for a trigger to automatically take them to the next slide (or I could just add one more - "You've selected all 3 correct answers, go to the next slide) but I'm still struggling with figuring out how to get all 3 answers on the same slide recognized in total.  Does that make sense?  They're just toggles that display a check mark when selected, which then triggers the layer that shows if the answer is correct or not. I've been trying to select the toggles (when they have the check mark) to add to 3, but I'm sure I'm missing something, because it's not working.  I'm still very new to this, but I think that's what I should be doing to make this work, unless you have a better suggestion

Hi, Barb.

Thank you for sharing the .story file and the details of what you're trying to accomplish!

I have a few suggestions on changes you might want to make to the project, so I recorded a Peek 360 video while making those changes

I'm also attaching the .story file with those changes here.

Let me know if you have additional questions!

Oh my gosh!  I've spent hours and hours trying to get here.  I didn't quite have my variables adding to 3, only to 2, when I received your assistance.  I get it now!  And it never dawned on me that I need to disable the select option so that it wouldn't be counted more than once.  I'm so excited for your assistance  and it makes sooooooooooo much more sense to me where to add the submit button, as I wasn't quite sure how to finish this.  

 Thank you, thank you, thank you Maria!  I've been going crazy trying to figure it out!  I've spent far too many hours, because I knew I could get it, eventually, but truthfully, I couldn't, without your guidance.  I am truly grateful for your assistance.  I am going to try to emulate what you did, so that I know how to do this myself, and maybe finally, I can move onto a new slide.  So grateful!
