time restrictions

Hey Jill, 

I bet you'd be able to set up a time-restricted navigation using something similar to the ideas in this article. 

Thanks, Peter!

That would work to make a restriction on time for each slide, but we were looking for the course as a whole.

Bummer.

Jill,

Could you have a "hidden" media item playing in the background spanning all slides? Set the duration for that item for your minimum time and set completion as a condition. Maybe?

Bob

oooh. Maybe. Has anyone tried this??

Hey Jill & Bob,

Unfortunately there isn't really a way in Storyline to apply audio or other media that spans multiple slides—otherwise that would be a good solution for imposing a time-spent condition across your course. I'm not aware of any way to create a time requirement on the entire course itself... I believe you'd need to go with a slide-by-slide condition as Pete suggested earlier.

I built a timer that increments a variable that you could run on each slide and then check the variable value at the end of the course, before the quiz.  It uses two layers that reopen each other to track time, but relly would need to be built in from the start

Sorry dont have access to the file, but I posted it on here somewhere

This would work across many slides

Hi Phil! I had forgotten you had done some cool things with variables to create a timer! Is this the post you're thinking of?

Someday I hope I can figure this kind of thing out on my own. Amazing! Thank you.

Definitely not a simple solution, but it would work.

You could probably make it simpler and just count seconds, so you would only need three triggers on two layers

Add 1 to variable

Close this layer on timeline end

Open layer 2

This would work and save a bit of time.

thanks for finding the link (do you bookmark everything?)
