Listing D&D results in categories (need Javascript?)
Mar 26, 2019
I have a challenge I am working on that I would be very grateful to hear how others would approach in Storyline. I am hoping I have not yet discovered a fantastic feature that’s going to save me lots of work! Or perhaps I am approaching this from completely the wrong direction?
Slide 1:
On a drag and drop I have 50 cards (drag sources) and 5 categories (drop targets).
If a card is dropped onto a category, a variable “var_card_X_category” is assigned the appropriate value (e.g. if you drop card 1 on category 4 then var_card_1_category is assigned with the value 4).
Slide 2:
So now I have 50 variables (one representing each card), each with a value of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
Each card also has a variable that contains its name. e.g. “var_card_1_name” has the text value “This is card 1”
On slide 2 I wish to create a text list of all the card names (var_card_X_name), grouped by their category (var_card_X_category).
Example of what would be displayed on slide 2:
Category 1
This is card 4
This is card 13
This is card 22
Etc
Category 2
This is card 1
This is card 5
This is card 17
Etc
Category 3
This is card 2
This is card 3
This is card 14
Etc

I'm wondering whether arrays in Javascript hold the key. I think part of the answer is in this post. I learned some basic Swift (iOS) coding a few years back but I don't have any knowledge of JavaScript... but would be happy to learn.
