Tracking progress in a course without using the built in menu?

I tried the following with no success (see screenshot)

• Created a variable called Section_Complete. 
• Mark the variable true when the timeline starts in the section review screen
• I created a state called Complete.
• Display the Complete state when the variable is true.

Hi,

I haven't tested this out but here's an approach that I would try:

• Create a number variable for the progress meter.
• On the slide that needs to update the progress bar, insert a checkbox off of the slide.  Add a trigger to the slide to increment the progress variable with the checkbox is not selected. 
• Create another trigger to update the checkbox to selected when the timeline starts
•  For the progress bar, insert a trigger to update it to the new state when the timeline starts  with a condition that the variable needs to equal the value of the state (1, 2, 3, etc. according to the steps in  your states).

Make sure the above three triggers are in the proper order and I think it should work - although this is off the top of my head so hopefully I'm not missing a step in there.

Hello Karen!

Here is a thread that discusses ideas for a custom progress bar and another one here.

Are there plans to have this feature included in furture releases on SL? There's quite a bit of demand for this functionality, it would be great if it was included as a player option.

Hello Karen!

Unfortunately we do not know what  new features may be added to any new versions. You can keep submitting feature requests.  That is the best way to let the development team know what you want.
