The client wants the delegates to have 2 attempts at a final quiz and then if they are not successful, to revisit the training material content before trying the quiz again (another 2 times if necessary).
Despite following tutorials, and the set up of my file looking to be correct, I cannot get it to function in this way. Can anyone help?
Sometimes, change the state of an object in a layer doesn't work. Also, it is better to set your attempt variable when the results slide starts, rather than on the retry button in the layer. I added a second failure layer, and moved your logic to select the correct failure layer to the base layer, and I also moved your variable update to the base layer to run when the timeline starts, and to run as the first trigger on the stack.
Thank you for looking at this. Whilst it works perfectly first time around, if you use the 'Review Module' button on the layer 2, the quiz doesn't work the next time around - the Submit button has gone and only prev/next appear. Is there a way around this?
I can see the variable on the first slide, however, when I click through to do the final quiz again it still doesn't let me submit any answers, only the prev and next button still appear?
hmmm, I'm not seeing that. I clicked through twice, went back to the beginning, clicked through again, and then clicked through with correct answers and it worked fine.
When you click through the second round, does it let you select the answers?
I've just tested it again and it works, but on what is essentially the 3rd try of the final quiz you only get the next and prev buttons. You can select the answers by using the 'next' where you'd usually use 'submit' and the quiz reports correctly (when you go to the 4th try it goes back to a submit option oddly) so I don't suppose it matters hugely that the options change if the functionality is there. Odd mind you!
I'm not sure, but I suspect it has something to do with the trigger being on a layer. By moving it to the beginning of the quiz, we just make sure that it activates before we visit the quiz.
Dave, Can you see if there is anything missing in this Module 2 file? I've duplicated all the triggers but for some reason the last glitch is still there (the prev/next button rather than submit) on the 3rd attempt...

Hi LIndsey,

Give this a try.

You just need to initialize the variable on the first slide. I was going to add that, but then I forgot. Sorry about that.

Ah!
I see what you are referring to now.
I moved the trigger to reset the results slide to the slide 4.1 when the timeline begins. This fixes that issue.
Thank you that works perfectly! I'm not sure I understand why it doesn't work from the same slide, but it works, which is all that matters!
Now I have to implement this in 4 other modules, and then get back to implementing the Infinite loop fix you helped with the other day!

Thanks again :-)

The version that you uploaded seems to be working fine. I was able to get the submit button on four attempts.
Must have been a glitch!
Is it working for you now?
Yes - must have just been as tired as I was by the end of the day! I've managed to get all 5 modules working using your triggers, so thank you...
Cool, I'm glad that it is working.
