Random Slide on Scenario Branching

May 15, 2012

I'd like to have Storyline 'branch' at a point into one of 6 scenarios - but I want it to be a random one every time....

Example - Lesson on English Small Talk - at one point, I want the lesson to branch into an unknown topic branch to the student.

Topic 1: The weather

Topic 2: Home Life

Topic 3: Education

Topic 4: Sports

Topic 5: Hobbies

Topic 6: Social Life

Is it possible to put a 'random branch' from a selection of alternatives?

As far as I'm aware, there is not yet any native/pure way of creating "randomness".  There are, however, ways of being clever to a certain degree, e.g. http://articulate.arlyn.s3.amazonaws.com/Storyline/random1.0/story.html.  This particularly example (posted back in Aug) does require you to refresh your browser to get a new number.  I've not seen any more mention of random generation since so I think we'll have to wait until the next release.

There's also a beta post that accompanies the above, but I'm not sure if I can post that here because it's from the beta forum.
