I am new to Storyline and having trouble with number variables. I have a slide with a number of objects that can be selected to make an emergency kit. I can drag and drop all the items, right or wrong. What I would like to do is the have the number of items selected (either right or wrong) stop at a certain number. Say there is 10 objects but as soon as you select 5 ( any 5), you cannot pick any more. How do I set the variable?
Also I would like to give points for each correct one selected and make the points additive. How do I set the variable?
Hi, Catherine! Thanks for your question! Do you have a file started that you could share so that others may make suggestions? Also, in case you haven't had a chance to look it over, you may find this article on Adding Variables quite helpful. :)

An interesting set up you've got! It sounds like using the trigger "Adjust variable" "when object is dropped" on a particular object would get you started. Do you have an example file you're working with - t hat's often the best way to get community help as they can make edits and changes to your work in progress!

Hi Catherine,
Is this what you're looking for?

Selecting two out of six. It should stop at two, no matter what two you select. I can post the source if you think this would help.
