Sequence Drag & Drop in Storyline?
Is it possible to create a Sequence Drag & Drop in Storyline with Images? I did a Convert to Freeform and I am having the user build a sandwich and things have to go on the sandwich in a certain order. I have certain ingredients going to the top and certain to the bottom but no matter what order they put it in they are being marked correct. I need the ingredients to go in a certain order.
Any Ideas?

Hi Terri! That sounds like a fun interaction!
Have you tried using separate hotspots for the drop targets of each individual item in the sandwich? That way you can specify in your question editor exactly where the correct drop location is for each item. Want to attach a copy of your story file (or at least the sandwich slide you're working on) so that we can take a look and make some recommendations for how to build the behavior you want? - ShannonScallyCommunity Member
Did you ever figure out a way to do this? I know this was posted a long time ago, but I am trying to do the same type of thing with a recipe ineraction.
The ingredients have to be dropped into a mixer in a specific order, if not the feedback should be incorrect.

Hi Shannon,
Really depends on how you want to do this. If you want to allow the learners to drag them in any order, it'll be a bit more complicated. If you want to control the order, it'd be pretty simple.
For example, if you want to ensure that they drag the items in the correct order, you could work with the states of the ingredients. You could make the initial state for the objects "Disabled" until a certain condition is met. Say you start with the first ingredient in a "Normal" state. Once that state changes to "Selected", the next ingredient's state could change to normal and allow the user to drag that ingredient into the blender.
This would really be the quickest and easiest method for setting something like this up. Controlling the order for objects that can be placed in any order, but requiring a specific order may be a little more complicated.
Here's a quick example using the state method I mentioned earlier:

No problem, Shannon! :)
I hope this works out for you. If you have any questions, just let me know.
Thanks!

One situation I am facing now is that our paperwork is not submitted in the right order. I am making practice for the employees where I can change the state of the options, and this is working great for teaching the order because it forces the user to do the proper sequence. I am wondering if there is a way to use the quizzing sequence drag and drop with pictures or another way to allow the user to try it on his/her own (not prompting with changing the states)?
Thanks.
Hi Stacy!
Perhaps this thread will get you headed in the right direction.

Hi Walt,
I am trying to add 3 more papers to the above story file so that there are 7 papers in total. I seem to be struggling would you be able to offer any assistance with this?
Thanks

This is great! Thank you very much for your help!

Thanks again for the remarkable guidance! Would anyone be able to help me with one issue I am still having? When I preview the scene and get the sequence wrong, the try again layer seems to work correctly until I get the correct response on the second attempt. Then the Incorrect layer appears. I am open to any suggestions.
