I am trying to do a drag and drop where I have feedback increase it's help with more attempts. The problem I am having is that my layers work, my variables work, but because I have 3 things they need to drag and drop in order to get it right. After first incorrect attempt if they get it right, the correct layers do not work. I have tried to use True/False variables, but because there are three wrong answers, I cannot figure out how make it work. It is slide 5. So basically I want it to count the attempts and give one feedback on the first incorrect attempt and a different feedback on the second incorrect attempt while still giving correct feedback ever get it right.
Thanks for the challenge, Amy! I went ahead and assumed that this is purely a learning opportunity for the user and you don't need to track this as an assessment question? If that's a correct assumption, here's how I solved your issue:
I removed the Freeform question from the slide, and added my own Submit button and feedback layers. Then I added a Counter (off-slide), and used two variables to make it all work.
Variable (Hint2) adds value +1 when the user clicks Submit.
Variable (Counter1) adds value +1 when an incorrect answer is dropped into the trash, and +0 when the correct answer is dropped.
Layers then appear based on the value of these two variables. And Counter1 re-sets each time they re-try the question.
Hope this helps.
(If you DO need to track this as an assessment Q, perhaps someone else in the community can shed some light?)
Sorry I was not able to get back to this until last night. I tried it out (and I so appreciate the help) but I found that with the new setup for some reason even if they answered the correct answer on the third try it still said it was wrong. I cannot figure out what to do? Any other thoughts Leslie? This why I used the True/False variable instead of the count as I did on the other questions. This is my first attempt using True/False. Maybe I am doing something wrong?
If you're still having difficulty, perhaps you could upload the copy of the .story file you made changes to off of Leslie's example here so that we could take a look at what you changed and offer recommendations?
I didn't change the file from what Leslie uploaded. I just noticed when I previewed the one she uploaded it did not give a correct response if they got it right on the third try. Maybe I am just not understanding something.

I would like the them to receive points once they get it right which by the third attempt should happen. Anyone have any suggestions for this?
Thanks so much for the help. Your work was a great help too!
Hi Amy!
I adjusted your slide so that the variable adjusted on the Try Again Layer and it seems to be working as I understand you want it to.
Your updated file is attached.
Ha! Thanks Leslie. I seem to be quite good at solving problems the long way around. Good luck with the rest of the design, Amy.
I know the feeling Cathy - I tend to do it often as well :)

I just re-opened the file and I see what you are reporting Amy. I must not have saved the final copy before sending it on. I'll take another look.
Thanks sorry this is being such a pain!
Let's try this again.
I don't even think this is how I did it the first time, and I cannot remember what I did ;)
I did the adjustments on the Try Again Layer with a new variable :)
