radio button question

From a UI point of view if you want more than one to be selected you should use checkboxes.  Users get used to common conventions using radio buttons you break those conventions

I also find it easier to add these type of triggers onto the next/submit button based on the selected state this way you don't have to worry if the select or unselect an option.

Phil, Thanks for that. Good point re: the checkboxes.

I have managed to stop it counting multiple clicks by adding a true/false variable. Just haven't been able to figure out yet how to reset it to 0 if the user deselects the checkbox.

I will try and get my head around incorporating the triggers into the next/submit button.

if you add the triggers to the next button then they only get counted when the user is happy with their selections

I have tried adding the triggers to the next button but as soon as i complete the trigger it reverts to a seperate object in the trigger pane.

At the risk of asking what is probably a stupid question how do i add the triggers so that they only activate when I click the next button?

create a trigger

Adjust variable, on Condition Checkbox == selected when user clicks the next button

that should work

Phil, I hate to be a pain but it is still not working:

For each of the click boxes I have added a trigger:

When I preview the scene and press the next button it does not alter the ModeOfTravelScore variable (Begin button 1 is actually the next button)

You probably need to move to jump to next slide trigger to the bottom

Phil, we got there in the end. It seems obvious now but yes i did need to move the jump to next slide trigger to the buttom to allow the other triggers to activate.

One problem i did find though was it was adding the all scores regardless of whether the boxes had been ticked so i added an extra true/false variable to activate once the checkbox had been clicked and that sorted it out.

Thanks once again for your help. Thanks to yourself and the rest of the community i am getting my head around variables but it is a slow process

Glad you got it working

Phil -- just wanted to tell you that I also learned something very valuable from this thread! I was attempting to adjust a variable (the score) based on whether or not a series of radio buttons had been selected, and I wanted learners to be able to change their minds as they progressed through the slides. By putting the trigger that increments the score on the final slide let me evaluate every choice across 4 slides all at once. Very helpful!

Thanks James, I had to reread this to see what I said :-)

Thanks for sharing James, always glad to see when an older thread is still helping out.
