Trigger question
Dec 02, 2020
Hi and thanks in advance for your help.
I have a Pick One quiz question where the learner has to correctly fill in a bunch of blanks. I have a button which triggers to "selected" if they get all the answers right, and the question registers as "correct" if the button is selected when they click submit on the player.
I also created a "submit" button to submit the Pick one, but because all the logic looking at their responses is in the player, and the submit button is before those triggers, when clicking the button the quiz says "you. must answer the question before submitting." In other words, it's not seeing the user input because it's executing before the logic in the player that looks at the user's answers.
Any idea how to make the submit button work?

Hello.
Thanks Jeff!
I rebuilt the submit button as you say, but do you know how I have the button trigger come AFTER the text entry triggers?
The trigger window isn't letting me reorder triggers. The up and down arrows are grayed out.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, I attached the file here. Sometimes the trigger window gets buggy where triggers won't allow reorder. You may be able to drag and drop it to where you want it. Hopefully this file keeps the order the way you would like.
Also, I labeled the buttons with meaningful names, i.e. submit_btn, vs. Button 3, it helps a lot to label items on the timeline so when you need to debug you can see what triggers are doing what easier.
Good luck!
Jeff, you're awesome! Will look at it now.
THANKS!
Any thoughts on how to get a graded survey essay question to give 2 points no matter what a user types into it?

Hello, you would have to create your own variables and then add to it on the submit button. See attached.
Thanks very much!!
