Variables in Articulate
Oct 05, 2015
Hello community,
I created some Try Mode slides for a new module I am designing. The module is to teach users using a software.
The idea behind it is:
1) When users click on the wrong part of the screen an 'Incorrect' message will appear. They can click Continue.
2) A HINT button will then become visible so users can get a caption which gives them help to find the correct answer.
3) If the user clicks again on an incorrect part of the screen a second 'Incorrect' message will appear. They click Continue.
4) A new button called: ANSWER will appear. If they click on ANSWER a new caption will direct them towards the correct answer.
I have been using numeric variables so far, but the only slide that works is the first one, then I cannot make the rest of them work!
I read many posts on the Articulate community about variables but I could not find an example of what I need in my module.
Hope someone can help!
P.S. Please let me know if you need me to post the Articulate file....

Hi Arianna,
It sounds like you might be trying to re-use the same variables for each slide. It's important to remember that variables are persistent in their values. This means if you change a numeric variable on a slide, that variable is now equal to that value throughout the presentation, unless you alter it.
You may want to either create a specific variable for each slide that only gets used once, or perhaps reset your variables at the start of each slides timeline.
I hope this helps.
Hi Arianna!
Looks like Tony has popped in to assist you here. Just let us know if you need anything further :)
