Variable for a button throughout the Course

Hi Jins

variables are global to the project so once you use it on one slide you will need to trigger it to reset before you can use it on another slide OR use another variable.

Wendy thank you so much for following up on this. I am uploading a replica of my course. I have created a variable for "try again" which only accepts two attempts and another variable for continue button to submit results.  Listed below are the challenges:

1. The try again variable works only on the second slide which I wanted to replicate for all the slides

2. Also I need a variable which would show the result side after two attempts 

Many thanks.

HI Jins

look at this Peek video and see if this is the behaviour you are after.

The first run through I got all correct, the second time I had a go, then try again layer displays, then had another go and either got it right or wrong.

I removed all the variables, I changed the number of attempts on each slide from unlimited to '2' and also removed the submit button on each slide.

let me know if this is correct and I'll upload the file for you.

Hi Jins

I saw your comment on the Peek video:

This is what I was trying to accomplish but the action of clicking the continue button should directly end the course and show the result as failed.

Sorry Jins - not sure I understand.  You want to give the user 2 attempts but if they use 2 attempts you want to fail them?

Yes Wendy, that is exactly what I need. I want to give user only two attempts and if they use them, they fail. 

So on any slide where they use 2 attempts the incorrect layer should show and they are directed to the result slide fail layer? See this Peek video

wohooo, perfect. Can't wait to know the spell (variable) behind this! :)

Ha ha, don't woohoo yet until you test it and see if it works how you want.  At the moment there are no variables so we may need to still tweak it.

Hope this helps or gives you an idea

wohoo back. I see you have used the test design option to limit the attempts to 2 and added a trigger to the Continue button to jump to result slide.

I exactly want this result but if this is possible through a variable because I have over 80 slides and making these changes manually on each slide can be cumbersome.

Hi Jins

sorry I missed your reply.  When you initially do the screenrecording and set up the test mode you can select the option to limit tries to 2.

I haven't tested it but you may be able to create a custom incorrect feedback layer that when you click the 'continue' button directly them to the Result slide.

If you had one wish, I want that to come true. Appreciate your reciprocity as always.

Such a sweet sentiment Jins :) 

We appreciate Wendy's kindness and generosity as well.

Glad to see that she was able to help you out here.

Oh Jins that's very kind of you.  My pleasure to help you out and good luck with your project :-)

Which means i need to add a trigger on the Continue button manually to all slides to show the layer. 

I also tried the Feedback master but no avail :(

Hi Jins, 

If you're stuck again after trying Wendy's idea, perhaps share your .story file so we can take a look at what you've set up? 

Hi Jins

you are correct - I just tried removing all the triggers from individual incorrect layers and adding to Feedback master incorrect layer and it doesn't work.

I have found a work around.

Create the first quiz slide incorrect layer with the two triggers:

• hide this layer when user clicks Continue
• jump to Results slide when user clicks Continue

then copy / paste that layer to the other quiz slides.

Same pinch. I executed the same protocol of copy pasting the trigger which consumes less time.

I do not profess but I am all gaga about how you helped me earlier.

Hi Jins

not copy/paste the trigger, actually right click the Incorrect layer of the first quiz slide click copy then go to the next quiz slide select the base layer in the slide properties panel and click paste - so you are not doing the triggers you are doing the whole layer.

Cool - Well it creates a layer copy which needs to be renamed and the older layer needs to be deleted. 

Still saves me oodles of time. Thank you so much Wendy.
