Playing With Variables

Mar 08, 2015

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here and I have to say, this is a great community and resource. I have been playing with variables this weekend (I know I need to get out more) but I have come up with a timed question that also has the learners score.

ScreenGrab

I have attached the .story file so please take a look and tell me what you think. If it is something you can use, please do. If you are a variable guru and can give me any hints on how to more elegantly use the variables and triggers that would be great too.

Thanks in advance.

See attached a version that reduces the number of triggers you need. Hope I didn't break anything :-)

Hi Michael. I never would have thought of that in a thousand years but when you look at how it is set up, it makes sense. It sure cleans the page up going from 20 triggers to three. Thanks.

I often use offstage looping animations for counters, etc. It does save a bunch of triggers. See some info in a blog post here: http://wp.me/p2BoUf-cH
