Variables and Radio buttons
Jul 03, 2014
I'm not sure how to explain this.
In my course I have a story (Comic strip style) working on a timeline. After each strip of story (relating to a time on the timeline) the trainee has to select a colour button for each charactor. At the end of my story I want to have a results slide that show which colour buttons was selected for each timeline strip. I hope this makes some sense. I have no idea how to do this and have been struggling with the 'Search' function on this site.
I have attached a demo of what it should look like.
Thanks!

Not sure I ciompletely get it but have you tried creatig a variable for each color (ie Karlgreen) and then make a trigger that adds to the trigger if that color button is selected? Then you can show the results of wach color on the tally. Sorry If I did not quite get this!
Hi Nelia, I've updated and attached your .story file with your radio buttons fixed for the 18 month "shining" example (Karl).
Here is a tutorial that walks through creating variables, then triggers that adjust these variables: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/working-with-variables.aspx
I also adjusted the state of the radio button on your results slide for Karl dependent upon the value of the variable set in the 18 month example on slide 1: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/evaluating-text-variables.aspx
Here is a screenshot for creating the variables -

And finally a screenshot for changing the state of the radio button on Karl's result slide (18 month) dependent upon the value of the variable -
Hope this helps!
Thank you this was really helpful, Brian. In the end I changed the states of the markers to reflect the colour of the button selected at the relevant slides. This looks better in the end. :o)
Thanks again for helping me with this, your variable suggestions came in very useful to make this work.
