Reset Results.Score variables?
Jul 02, 2012
Is there an easy way to reset the Results.Score variables?
I have a HOME button at top that a student can click at any time to return to a main menu. However, if they had already started the practice exercises and scored points, when they click to the home menu and start the practice session again, the 'Results.ScorePoints' variable does not reset. I have tried several triggers but can't figure it out.
Let me know if that doesn't make sense and I can demo in a screencast.

If you're on the slide with the results, and you click on the variable window (little x on the bottom right corner of the triggers area), you can put a default number into any of your varaibles that are numbers. It'll start off with whatever number you put into it and add new values based on your trigger.
Yes there is - there is a trigger you can use for this. It is the Reset Results trigger. You could add it to the home button using as follows.
I am not sure I understand. Results.ScorePoints tracks continuous points during the practice. I am hoping to be able to have a trigger that when they click the home button that it resets the variable. As it is now, if they start the practice questions, then click the home button, then start the practice again, the Resutls.ScorePoints still retains points from the previous session.
Can't write to the results.score variables with a trigger, unfortunately:( I've got my feature request in for that one - please add your vote!
So what does that Reset Results trigger do then? I thought it reset the score points?
It does for me. Not able to write the variable with a custom, but resetting the quiz sets Results.ScorePoints to zero.
I have tried the Reset Results trigger. I notice the Rerty Button that is default on the Results slide used it. However, it does work and doesn't work. I "believe" it might reset the variable, but for some reason my read of Results.ScorePoints still shows it has a value. Here is a screencast of the anomoly.

So I tried to Reset Results and I've made sure that the slides reset to initial state upon revisit. I don't understand how my read/print of %rResults.ScorePoint% is holding the point value.
Thanks for the suggestions and help.
hmm - where have you set up the Reset Results trigger? Maybe it has something to do with the order in which the triggers are being read.
Any chance you can upload your story file or a subset the shows the functionality?
Hi Nancy and Michael,
Since it has been almost a year, I wanted to revisit this thread. Similar to Michael, I am using "%Results.ScorePoints%" to track "Points so far on each slide" (bottom right corner).
At the end of the quiz, if you've failed, I'd give you a retry button. When you click on the retry button, I want the "Score so far" to start again from zero but it carries on from where it left off in the previous attempt.
Any thoughts, guys?
I'm having the same issue. This is what I see when I return to this quiz after failing the first time. Everything is reset to normal except my points variable. I have a trigger to reset the variable when the timeline starts. Also tried triggering a variable reset from my "continue" button on the result layer.
Hi Daniel!
This thread is a bit dated. Do you have a .story file that we could take a look at?
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for sharing the image here - if you're having a difficult time resetting variables it is likely something we'll need to take a look the .story file. You may also want to review information such as the trigger order, as they'll be executed as described here.

Sorry,
I solved the issue. I had a lightbox slide triggered at the start of timeline that was interrupting my trigger execution. I put a trigger on the lightbox slide to reset the variable - works like a charm now!
Awesome Daniel - and I was going to let you know that responding via email includes your signature here - but it looks like you already removed it!
IT'S ALIIIIIVE! Threardsurrection, just in time for Halloween!
Definitely post up the story file. Probably trigger order. I think I ended up setting a trigger that reset all variables on the home slide load, but I've slept a few hours since this.
I need help please. Some our Learners need to redo the course yearly (Office Safety Induction). How do i reset the course, so when they need to do it again, it starts from the beginning again?
Hello Glenda and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
You can certainly retry a quiz and reset results within Storyline 360 via the Result Slide Features.
Resetting the course for annual use/new instance would be handled within your LMS.
