Storyline - Try Again Master Feedback slide trigger ...
Aug 15, 2012
Hello everyone,
I am trying to make a trigger for my Try Again Master Feedback slide. I have been using "Hide Layer" in order to allow my students a second chance at the question. However, this hasn't worked. I have been able to create a continue button which takes the students to the next slide for both a correct answer and a 2nd incorrect answer (thanks to a video tutorial by Brian!). But for the 1st incorrect answer, I want the Try Again button to take them back to the same slide. How do I do this?
Also, when the Try Again button (finally!) works, will the old answer given by the student disappear so that they can try a brand new answer? What would be the trigger to hide the Feedback slide AND erase the previous answer? Remember, I am trying to put this in a Master slide too so using the "Jump to" trigger and then indicating the same slide won't work because every one of my slides has the Try Again Feedback slide (they would all go to that specific slide).
Thanks!
Avery

Hi Avery,
Via Brian:
The Try Again button is special and is automatically generated for each slide. However, items added to the feedback master will not show up in the timeline. Thus, when you try to hide the layer on the custom try again button, Storyline doesn't know what layer to hide.
Fortunately, you can workaround this by using a simple adjust variable trigger. See the screencast below for more information.

Just came across this thread. I have a similar question: How do I erase the previous answer on a Try Again question?
Hey Laura - Try setting the slide properties to "reset to initial state". I'm not exactly sure that's what you want, but it should reset the question to its original state.
Hey Sherri,
This option works only when the user revisit the slide, but here everyone wants to have intial state when the user click TRY AGAIN button. As right now after first attempt it shows the first attempt response and it has appear as a fresh window.
Please share if you have some idea for this.
Hi Aakshi,
Depending on the question type, it may not reset automatically. Can you tell us what type of question(s) you're using so that I can point you in the right direction?
I would really like to know this as well. We have a drag and drop slide where only one selection is correct. We have both correct and incorrect feedback for their select choice, but we want the user to have a "try again" button after the first incorrect selection. On the second selection, we want either the correct or incorrect feedback to display.
I hope I'm not hijacking the thread, it's the closest task that I found to accomplish this.
Never mind! I figured it out. If it were a snake it would have bitten me. Just simply allow for 2 attempts.
Thanks for the update Justin, and I'm glad you were able to figure it out.

Hi Felix,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you're experiencing! Since this discussion is several years old, let's start fresh. It sounds like you'd like to reset the question after seeing the Try Again popup.
Have you allowed for multiple attempts in the question? If you're comfortable sharing your .story file, feel free to share it with our support engineers, and they can lend a hand in testing your file.
