Help with Branching and I think variables

Hi Dayle,

What I would do here is to set up a True/False variable (RoleB), which is set to False at the start. If the user selects Role B on the first slide, the variable is changed to True. If one of the other roles is selected, the variable remains as False.

You then set up two triggers on slide 1 that activate once the role selection has been made that jump the user to slide 2 (Video 1) if RoleB is False or slide 3 (Video 2) if RoleB is True.

You set up a trigger on slide 2 that activates once Video 1 completes that jumps the user to slide 3 (Video 2) or Next Slide, if you prefer. (Note: Any user who views Video 1 also has to view Video 2)

You set up two triggers that activate once Video 2 completes that jump the user to slide 5 (Wrap-up slide) when RoleB is False or slide 4 (Video 3) if RoleB is True.

Finally, set up a trigger that activates when Video 3 completes that jumps the user to slide 5 (Wrap-up slide) or Next Slide, if you prefer.

Note that if you don't want your triggers to activate automatically when the videos complete, you can link them to the Next button instead.

Hopefully this makes sense, but if you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to get back to me here.

Hi- thanks for your help.  This is so great!  I have built the scenario and it all works but… at the end of the course I have a button that allows the user to revisit the course content.  If they user selects a different role then they did previously the path should change.  Meaning variable B should be set again and recognized to trigger the newly chosen path… but this is not happening.  I put a trigger on the revisit button to reset the variable b to false but when I get to the end of path A or C the course is acting as if the original path was selected (in this case path B) and taking me to the video 3 instead of wrap up.  It is not seeing that the variable has been reset and reselected.  I suspect there is a way to clear the variable and recapture that I am not doing correctly.  Thoughts?

Hi Dayle,

I suspect you may have made the mistake of having your triggers in the wrong order. This is a very common mistake, so don't worry. Check that you are not jumping back to your main menu before adjusting the variable back to False, otherwise the variable will not be reset.

See attached example if you are still having problems (each video lasts approximately six seconds).

Hi Ned- thanks!  I had all of the variable and triggers set but I had the order of them wrong.  I was jumping to the min menu before resetting.  It was just what you said.  I really appreciate your help.
