Simple multiplication of variables Oct 03, 2016 By David Oswald Hi there Can anyone point me in the right direction for a simple tutorial on multiplying numbers stored as variables in Storyline2? Basically I need to take 3 numeric inputs and multiply them together and then display the answer as another variable. Thanks in advance

David Oswald Author David Oswald over 7 years ago10/04/16 at 8:06 am (UTC) Hi Russell Just a quick question. Now I've got the multiplication I'm trying to use the result for a further calculation but it's not working. Basically I'm trying to take that result then multiply by a variable and then divide that result by 2. Effectively I'm trying to do (a*b*c)*d/2. Sorry, I though I had it but I'm now struggling again. Thanks, David

Xuan Su Nguyen Russell Killips 4 years ago03/11/20 at 8:38 am (UTC) Hi Russell Killips, If you don't use Numeric Entry, can you multiply 2 numbers together?For example, instead of using Numeric Entry, use shapes so that when you click on a button, it calculates. 1 * 2, Result = 2 then click Calculate button. Thanks,
