I am getting varied outcomes in quiz answers.

Hi Lou!  Welcome to Heroes!  Thanks for stepping up.  :)  I'm having a look at your file, and I'll let you know what I see!

Hi again... so I made a small change to your trigger setup.  You originally have the variable Q7 changing to True when the states of those answer choices changed; triggers that depend solely on a state change behave inconsistently.  I didn't know this until I read it in the discussion forums, myself.  You don't know until you know.  :)

Triggers behave better when there is a definitive action by the user, so in your case, I changed the trigger to adjust the variable Q7 when the user clicks "Submit" IF the states of the correct answer choices are selected AND IF the state of the incorrect answer choice is not selected.  You don't need that variable to change until the user has finally decided on their answer and is ready to submit, since that variable's ultimate job is to show whether the question was answered correctly on the next (results) slide.  Pro tip:  make sure the trigger to change the variable comes before the trigger to jump to the next slide when the user clicks submit; otherwise it will never fire.

I also deleted the trigger to change the Q7 variable to False since it is already false, and it will only change to true if the user selects the right answers and hits submit.

I'm attaching my modification-- it seems to work, but give it a spin just in case!  I tested it out by answering correctly, answering incorrectly and attempting again, and selecting and deselecting the choices. 

Hi Crystal, 

Hello and thank you very much for your help. I was hoping that long term I could move away from triggers and just use variables with conditions. Ideally just the two for example:

True = All A,B,D are selected - on condition C is normal. 

False = Any of A,B,D are not selected - or C is selected. 

But when I actually try that it does not work. It works when using triggers via a checkbox, but not when I set the same command using variables with conditions.

You'll need triggers to adjust the values of the variable.  They're sort of like the engine in your project... you can turn the wheel to go right, but until you step on the gas and engage the engine, you won't turn right.  But I think I understand what you're saying in terms of preference.

One thing I wasn't clear on:  "when using triggers via a checkbox."  What did you mean "via a checkbox?"  How would you "set the same command using variables" without a trigger?

Thanks for working through it!

Sorry my explanation is not very clear.

For me the checkbox is a conduit. 

As the triggers are problematic, my thoughts are get rid of the checkbox and just use 2 triggers (true/false) (boolean) with conditions attached. 

I am a visual girl, so i quickly drew it up how I see it. The top half is when a checkbox is used, the bottom half is Boolean ( i didn't visualise the false option) 

I am still having the same issue even on your fix crystal. I made a screencast (turn the sound down, i forgot i had my headphones on. 

Ah- I never selected the answers in that order.  I changed the triggers slightly, and it seems to react the way I'd expect:

But put your eyes on it again to be sure.

The checkbox is a visual cue to the learner that the correct answers are selected, and in the latest setup that I worked on, it does nothing to the Q7 variable which controls the checkmarks on the results slide.  The Q7 variable is adjusted when "submit" is clicked IF the conditions are met.

So, if you don't need the "correct" box checked, that is, you don't need a visual cue for the learner, you can eliminate it and all it's triggers completely.  The variable is adjusted upon clicking submit once the right answers are selected.  The user can toggle the choices all they want, but ultimately, when they click submit, the current selections must be correct for the Q7 variable to be made true.

One other thing I noticed, Lou.  You'll have to adjust your aR variable triggers for attempts as well.  Every time the user lands on the results slide, it reduces their remaining attempts by one.  If they are on their last attempt and have actually chosen the correct answer, it will still redirect them immediately to the "exceeded attempts" layer.

Morning Crystal, 

Sorry for the delay, I have been off work for a few days. Thank you for the help, you are a star you are correct and I believe i have it all working, thank you again. 

Morning!  No worries- I hope you got to do something relaxing while you were off...  :)

You're welcome; thanks for sharing your file!
