I converted a slide with 4 images on it to a Freeform - Pick One question. I set it up so that there are unlimited attempts so that the user can not go forward until selecting the correct image. The issue I'm running into is when you click the Try Again button on the Try Again layer, the incorrect image that was selected is still highlighted with a glow (it's showing it's selected state).
Is there something that I can do to reset the slide and all the states of the images on the screen if the incorrect choice is clicked?
One way you could achieve this would be to add a trigger to the try again button to reset the state of the four pick one options to Normal. Move this trigger before the exit layer trigger to make sure it fires.
There was actually another issue that I discovered that was causing confusion. One of the choices was a group of 2 images, and that would cause it to never deselect. If you clicked any other the other images, they would deselect, but the group would never deselect. This also stopped you from ever being able to get the question correct, once the group was clicked.
I just had to phothshop the images together into 1 image and it started working.
Thanks for bringing that up, David M. We do have an issue documented for using grouped objects as answer choices in Freeform Pick One questions.
Similar to your workaround, you can right-click the group on the slide and choose to Save as Picture from the dropdown menu. You can then insert the picture.
I'll let you know about any changes to this behavior!
Quick note to let you know Update 26 of Storyline 360 is live today - and it includes a fix for the issue you ran into where Storyline would crash when a Freeform Pick One question has a grouped answer choice.

Thanks! Can't believe I didn't think of that.
