Stopping users after 5 clicks? possible?

May 14, 2018

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.

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?

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).

Hi Tin

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.

Hope this helps
