Hi, i am trying to put together a short tutorial for a peice of equipment where if you click on a hotspot, the display number on the equipment screen increases by 1 each time you click. not sure if this is possible ???
Love the idea by the way. I've done a few of this "simulation" pieces before for medical/pharma companies and they are one of the best ways to both train and evangelise new equipment. Nice idea!
So its totally possible to do what you are asking.
You just need three things
create a variable to keep track of the "click count". Set its DEFAULT value to 0 if you want.
apply a "ADJUST VARIABLE" trigger to your hotspot which will ADD value 1 to your VARIABLE when USER CLICKS
put a text field on your slide to show this click count.
The text field should use the standard Storyline syntax to display the contents of a variable - that is to wrap the variable name in % % front and back.
eg. if our variable was called ClickCount then I would literally type into my text field - %ClickCount%. Now preview that slide and you should see the click count value shown.
