Storyline Simulation Help
Oct 07, 2022
I am making a medical simulation using Storyline. I have it almost finished but I have one last thing that I need some help with. I am not sure if it is possible, so let me know what you think.
Throughout the simulation the Learner has to choose tests, procedures, etc. I was wondering if it is possible to assign points to the choices and at the end of the simulation, have a slide that show how they scored? Not sure if I just want to have them get points for correct answers or set it up so that they get points for correct answers and points deducted for incorrect answers.
Either way I appreciate any input.
Thanks

That's definitely possible by using a variable to track the score, and using triggers with conditions to adjust that variable based on whether the learner picked the right option.
This post is about tracking responses to custom questions or surveys. It might provide some guidance on how that type of programming should look:

Based on what you've already done, it sounds like you're probably already familiar with conditions and variables. Just in case you're not, and/or for others who aren't who might stumble upon this post, here's the User Guide info:
