Previous choice on a new slide

Hi Tyler,

You can definitely do this with states and variables.

I would suggest making a an object with states that correspond to each of the answers, and using a variable to display the state that corresponds to the users answer. You will have to set up a variable that tracks the user's answer, then have a trigger on the next slide that will show the state of an object when the time line begins, if the variable equals "value".

Here is a tutorial that explains how to show a states using variables:

Hope this helps.

Thanks Deanna,

I got it to work - but it seems a bit messy when looking at the code and how variables work ( I have worked with them before, and successfully - but I am not a pro)

I want the variable for Question 1 to be either 1,2, or 3. Hoever - I need to set variable names hat are unique. This seems to make my variable chart  very messy ( when I start dealing with many different questions) and maybe I am not doing this correct. I have attached a version of what seems to work. 

How can I just create one variable with multiple values? Not having to create multiple variables that then point to one variable to = another.

Thanks. 

Hi Tyler,

You can't create a variable that will hold multiple variables at once, as any change to the variable will overwrite the previous value. 

Hi Tyler,

I see what you were trying to do and made some adjustments.

You do not have to have a variable for each answer, you only need a variable for each question.

You can have the variable change each time an answer is clicked. I have set it up so that the "Question1" variable's value changes to "Answer1" when the first answer is chosen, and so on. Then the next slide changes to the "Question1" variables assigned value.

Hopefully, one variable per question is a bit easier to organize.
