Use a Dial or Slider to display the current value of a Variable

It may be easier to help if you can share your .story file here. Otherwise you likely only get yet another close-but-not quite example.

Laura,

When you add a dial or slider to a slide, Storyline automatically creates a variable associated with that dial/slider. So if you want to display the current value of the dial/slider, just insert that variable as text on the slide in percent symbols, for example: %Slider 1%.

No triggers will be needed to adjust the value in this case. As the user adjust the dial/slider, the value will update on the slide.

Thank you!  I have attached the story.  I really appreciate the help!

Thank you!  That is working to show the value of each individual slider.

Now I need to figure out how to have a dial show the running total of all the sliders as they are changed.  (like a progress bar, sort of)

Have a look at the attached and see if that`s what you wanted. I changed quite a few things. I only use one dial that sits on the baselayer. Anytime a slider is moved, a variable is toggled. Based on that change the total score is recalculated. Because you wanted to have scores of 0, 3 and 5 for each questions, I also had to change the slider steps and add a separate score variable for each slider.

Nicely done, Michael!

At a glance, the only suggestion I would add is to perhaps draw a transparent box over the dial so the user can't actually drag it to change the value manually.

Yes, that`s a good point Steve! I just paid attention to the trigger mechanics :-)

Just for completeness, here is a published version.

Hurray!  Thank you both so much!!
