Slide count variable

It's hard to know for sure without seeing your file. It sounds like the trigger occurs when viewing and reviewing slides.  You can can do this to have %slideCount% only trigger when taking the quiz and then not show when reviewing questions.

1. Put the %slidecount% trigger on its own layer called Count Layer.
2. Put the text box that displays the %slidecount% in the Count Layer
3. Create another T/F variable called %resultsSlide%.
4. Create another trigger on each question that shows the "Count Layer".
5. But a condition on that trigger that checks to see if %resultsSlide% is false.
6. On the view results slide button, add a trigger that changes %resultsSlide% to True.

Hope this helps!

I think I understand what you are suggesting but i have a few questions. 

What should trigger the Count Layer? Time line starts? 

If the %resultsSlide% is true then that is when it is shown?

Is the clicking of the view results button what changes %reslutsSlide% to True?

I'm still very new to working with variables so I hope these questions don't sound silly. BTW, I've attached a copy of my .story file if you wanted to look at it and maybe show me an example of what I need to do. I think I learn better by seeing concrete examples, at least in this context. I'm having a little trouble understanding this in the abstract.

Ok, I got it working on a small scale so far. I'll do a full scale test tomorrow. I made one change. The trigger on the results slide is when the timeline starts change the variable to True for the ResultsSlide. That seemed to be the only way I could get it to work. I created a version of my project with a lot fewer slides so I could test without driving myself nuts. Tomorrow I'll test full scale. 

Yea, It works. Thank you all for the help and suggestions. Next iteration of will be more sophisticated. Take little steps and improve as you move forward!

Thanks Jesse for letting us know you got it working and sorry we missed your post last week to take a look at the file. 

Hi Jesse - I am trying to do something similar to your original ask.  This is helpful and I'm trying to follow the advice.

I was wondering if you would mind sharing your final version once you had it figured out? (a small scale example would do fine :)

Thank you so much!

I'm still active. Rebecca I'll reach out to you in the next few days and let you know what I've got. To be totally honest I have dig a little to see what project this was referring to specifically but I'll be happy to help any way I can.

Thanks Jesse :)
