I am extremely confused! I am desperately trying to create a text entry question with three possible answers (only one is correct).
The user is allowed 3 attempts but I need to use two different 'Try again' Layers, along with a 'Correct' and 'Incorrect' layer. I have used all sorts of variables to show the second try again layer if the user gets it wrong the first time, and it seems to work... until they chose the correct option. Then it still shows the 'Incorrect' layer.
I am sure there must be a built in feature for this but for the life of me I can't seem to find it!
Many thanks for getting back to me, yes I have used the attempts setting but in doing this I only get 3 layers built in, Correct, Try again, and Incorrect. But I need 4 layers so I can add the extra and slightly different Try again layer.
I have created a fourth layer on top of the built in text entry quiz and added variables to show 'Try again - Layer 2' if user has already got the first try wrong, and up to here it works... the problem then comes when they chose the Correct layer after 2 attempt - because of the way I have added the variables they still see the incorrect layer regardless of if they chose the right answer.
Seems odd, why not just add a trigger to change the state of the text box on the try again layer if it is revisited (use a variable here). I would try to stick within the internal logic instead of rebuilding it.
Or show a layer on timeline start of the try again layer (again use a variable)

Are you using the attempts setting on the question, this is all built into SL so you shouldn't need to create your own variable
Hi Phil,

I hope that makes sense!

Hi Beansprout Monster! Looks like Phil is taking care of you here, just let us know how that suggestion works and if you need anything further.
