Question about a simple dial interaction I created in SL360

Apr 02, 2019

Hello,

Attached is a simple dial interaction. It has five values from 0 to 0.25. When the dial is pulled to each value, the value highlights. The Submit button takes you to correct/incorrect layers depending on what you chose. Correct if you choose 0.05; incorrect if you choose anything else.

Problem is, the 0.15 thing isn't working and I've tried it several times. It's supposed to highlight when the dial is pulled to .15 and it's supposed to take the user to the incorrect layer if the user selects .15 and clicks Submit.

I added and deleted the same triggers several times and they are all working except 0.15. I had to do a reference to variable "Dial2" on the screen because "Dial1" seems to have disappeared from my variable list. Is that the problem? Am I missing something simple? Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure what's going on with the .15. I'll take a close look.

One thing you can do to simplify the triggers. Select the numbers and right click to create a button set. That way only one can be in a selected state.

You can get rid of the triggers to make things normal. See the image.

I did change the range from 0-25 rather than use the decimals and it works. That's a good short-term fix.

Here's a tutorial with a workaround. Seems like Storyline is adding some extra numbers at .15. Not sure why, but the tutorial shows how to set up the trigger to work for you.

Tom,

Fantastic! I used all three of your ideas.

Setting the range .14 to .16
Setting zero as selected in its initial state
Button set (Duh! Why didn't I do that in the first place?)

All solutions worked perfectly! Thank you SO much. These are straightforward and elegant solutions. I appreciate it.

Glad it helped. And we logged the number issue as a bug. Not sure what's going on but at least you have a solid workaround.
