I have a grid with 12 statements and I want the users to click only 5 of the statements and then be able to click a text or button at the bottom of the screen to reveal the results/answer key which for now I have on the layer slide.
How can I make them only click on 5 boxed out of the 12.
See attached a quick example. The potential issue with this solution is that you can click the same item five times (I don't know if that's acceptable for your purposes). The thread I had referenced required you to select a specific number of (different) items).
See attached sample file. There is a shape that is set to an initial state of hidden that overlays the buttons. When the count = 5 it changes state to normal. Because it has a fill and is 100% transparent the user can't see it but also can't click on the buttons.
This is a very simplified example. If you wanted the user to be able to change their mind and deselect, select other buttons you'd need to do a bit more work with it.

This thread here discussed a similar problem and offered options.
Add a number variable that counts the clicks, then add a transparent shape over the top that disables all the buttons when the variable = 5
can you explain a bit further on the shape over the top that disables all the buttons part?

Hope this helps
I cannot open both of your files because I only have storyline 2 and you are using a newer version.
I want them to select 5 different items, not let them retake it again.
Hi Tin
I've rebuilt a sample in SL2 - hope that helps
