I have a project where the user has an option to test out. If they fail in the test out they have to review the content before they can retry the test. I have two true/false variables to turn the retry button to normal when the failure layer starts. One is if the user selected the I don't want to test out (they have already reviewed the content) and the REVIEW CONTENT button on the failure layer of the result slide.
The triggers work when I test them in the storyline file, but it is a cointoss when I test them in Review after publishing the file. I have attached the content below to see if there is something wrong with my triggers.
Hi Sharrilyn, it looks to me like there could be a problem with setting a variable value on the same trigger as a slide navigation. In some experiments I did, a value was not being altered (as if the navigation occurred before the variable could be set).
Try moving your true/false variable changes to a Timeline Start trigger in the appropriate slide instead.
In the tests I performed the "I Do Not Want to Test Out" was not setting the "NoTOage_gender" variable to True. The variable value remained False.
Thanks for the feedback. It is odd that it works on the result slide to have the True/False on the same item as a navigation and it works there. I use this all the time. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that the variables both trigger the same item in the failure layer of the result slide.
