Using Variables to build a Scoreboard

Mar 27, 2014

Hi,

I am looking at using Storyline to build a basic scoreboard that can be used for Live Streaming.

I have tried this out using variables but I am getting stuck on some of the variable settings and Conditions to get it to work.

I need to  show the following:

There are 5 ends.

Each end has 3 scores.

The cumalitive score of all 5 Ends are first, then showing each of the three scores, and then the added score of the three scores.

Example

30  : 10   10   10 =  30

I then hit a reset button to reset the 3 scores and the end total to 0 but the first number stays:

30 : 0   0   0 = 0

I then add three more scores:

57 : 9   9   9 = 27

The first number adds the previous number.

This is to be done for 5 ends. The maximum score for each is 10 and cannot exceed 30 per end. The overall total then cannot exceed 150

I created button triggers to add a number to each of the scores, but I cannot figure out how to hold the score value and add it to the next set of scores.

I have added an image to hopefully explain a bit better. Can this be done?

thanks

Hi Darren,

I'm not following your set up - especially the line about "I then hit a reset button to reset the 3 scores and the end total to 0 but the first number stays:" 

You may want to share the Storyline file here so that we can take a look at it and see if there is anything off in terms of trigger order, variables used, etc. 

Also, you may want to take a look at these other threads where a user has set up a scoreboard:
