storyline timer without elapsed time variables or layers?

Feb 08, 2023

I'm building an escape room for one of our trainers, and they requested that I add a timer. My version either does not have the elapsed time variables (3.49.24347.0) or they have to be added somehow and I don't know how to do that. It's possible that my organization has blocked any other versions.

I tried the invisible layer timer, but that broke all of my other layers, making them transparent and the trainer doesn't like that look.

It's a long shot, but does anyone know of a way to add a timer without the use of the built-in elapsed time variables AND without the use of additional layers?

Hello Stefanie,

Thanks for reaching out! As Ron mentioned, it might be helpful for you to be working on a more recent version of Storyline 360. We are currently running Storyline 360 version  72 (Build 3.72.29699.0.).

Now all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.

If you are still running into issues due to your organization's restrictions, feel free to open a support case so that our Support Engineers can assist you directly and help you troubleshoot further. 

Have a great day!
