Storyline 360: Cannot Limit the Quiz Attempts properly
Hello all,
I know it is not new, but it took me a long time still without any idea why it didn't work out. I referred to this article:
Storyline 360: Limiting Quiz Attempts
I followed each step but cannot get it work at all (the Retry button still work after the setup). I would like the users to only have one attempt to hit "Retry" button on the result slide, in a word, one attempt on each question each time, and if the first time failed, hit "retry" button only one more time to retake the quiz, so two chances to take the quiz in total.
I don't know what the trick is. Here is my Result slide Properties.
And, here is basically each question's slide Properties.
Anything wrong? I followed the article step by step and tried many times, but all did not work out.
Thank you very much!
Phoebe

Hi Phoebe
first thing - the quiz slides should be set to 'automatically decide' or 'reset to initial' if you are giving attempts.
Also, do you have the 'attempt' variable trigger active on the retry button?
Hello Wendy,
Thank you for your quick response.
For each question slide, I originally tried both "automatically decide" or "reset to initial" instead of "Resume saved state", but strange things happened, the result showed 0 score even though I hit a few correct answers. I don't know why it was like that, it only happened to this project. Very strange. So, I changed to "Resume saved state" for each question slide, then the result slide actually tracked the score. Very strange!
Yes, I set up "attempt" variable trigger on the "retry" button, exactly follow each step in the suggested article, but did not work out at all after many trials. "Retry" button still functioned again and again.
Thanks
If this option is selected, the user wouldn't be able to make a selection on the quiz slide as the original answer would still be 'selected'.
Perhaps the variable trigger is not in the correct order - can you share the story file - might be easier if we can see the setup and to try and help you solve it.
I am hoping someone can assist me. I am having the same issue. I have attached my .story file. I have tried the instructions using the variables in the thread provided and so much more. Basically, The passing score is 100%, however the learner would have 2 attempts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Tabatha
Can I confirm
do you want the user to have two attempts at the whole quiz - so they finish the quiz - click Retry Quiz - try the quiz again
OR
two attempts as each question is presented - so Q1 - try, incorrect, tryagain, pass/fail - move to Q2
Hi Wendy - We would like the user to have two attempts at the whole quiz - so they finish the quiz - click Retry Quiz - try the quiz again.
Hi Tabatha
here is your updated file. The passing score was set to 0 so I changed that to 100 and then used the variable results.pass points in the triggers. I also added in conditions for attempts to the 1st and 2nd layer triggers
I was able to get it to work finally. Here is my story file if anyone needs to view the triggers.
Oops - sorry didn't refresh my screen before posting the reply ;-)
Thank you for this -- exactly what I was looking for!
I am having the same issue - can you help me? I can't share the file due to confidentality but here is a screen shot of the triggers. The retry button is not disabled no matter how many times the quiz is attempted. I have the submit button on the final question (rather than for each question) as I want the allow the user to go back and change their answers before submitting. Is this why it won't work? Thanks
Hi Shona! You should move the "Add value 1 to Attempts when the user clicks Retry button" trigger up a couple of notches so it's the first trigger listed for the Retry Quiz button. On the Triggers panel, select that trigger and then click on the up arrow on the Triggers panel to move it up before the two other triggers.
HI! Can you help with my issue below?
Hi There. I'm having a similar issue. Can you let me know what I am doing wrong? I cannot even see the triggers even though I believe they are there. I want to allow 3 attempts. I also want to add a "exit course" button if they pass and when they are no longer able to take any more attempts. I also wanted to add a "review training" button so they can review the whole training again without having to take the quiz/mess with the results. TY!
