I'am using Storyline 3 and I'm doing a learning game for my company. I used variables (text variables) to restrict certains areas (somes variables are placed on layers).
Everything work perfectly on a computer, but, when we test on mobile device, variables do not work ! I try to republish, change variable's name ... etc ... but no results (see attachment to see variables used in project).
It is very important that this project also work on mobile device.
Hi Alexis! Your variables should work across all devices, so I apologize for the issues you are experiencing.
Without seeing your .story file, my initial thought is that the interaction is not allowing the text field to lose focus so the variable can receive the typed value.
If you’re comfortable sharing your project either here or privately through a case, we’re happy to help you investigate what’s happening.
In the meantime, here are a few questions to narrow down the issue:
Have you tried testing this on more than one mobile device? I am wondering if the issue only arises on a specific mobile device and not another (example: Android versus iPhone).
I'm sorry, i can't upload the file with the link, i have an alert when I clic (see attachment) ... is there an other way to send you the file (120 mo) ?
I had an answer from the support, currently for it to work (on stl 3), it is imperative to use the "button" object, so that the actions with variables (restricted area by code) work on mobile device (no interactive area, interactive image and others ... only "butons").
I change all my interactives area with buttons and it work (test on IOS and Android devices).

Hi, Vic.
Great call opening a support case! I see you're working with Johnrey, so you're in great hands!
Please reach out through the case if you have additional questions.
Hi Vic,
I had an answer from the support, currently for it to work (on stl 3), it is imperative to use the "button" object, so that the actions with variables (restricted area by code) work on mobile device (no interactive area, interactive image and others ... only "butons").
I change all my interactives area with buttons and it work (test on IOS and Android devices).
I hope it help !
