Try Again Options

Jun 12, 2014

Hello All,

I was looking to create a Try it Stroyline for our Partners and not show them where to click till the 3rd time they clicked in the wrong place. I see there are different layers set up but is there a way to show them the place to click after a certain numbers of try's and what is the easiest way to set this up?

Thank you!

You can do this by creating an accumulating variable and a hint layer or objects with a hint state for example:

On the failure layer we can have a trigger: adjust variable / "attempts" number variable / add 1 / timeline starts

* This way every time the user fails it keeps score.

Then to check the attempts against a total we make a trigger with an action:

'change state of Y' or 'show layer X'  / timeline starts   //condition//  if "attempts"   [>=Greater than or equal to]   Value 3

* This way when we return from the failed layer the third time it will display something new.

Hope this helps feel free to ask more questions.

Actually I created something similar. The first attempt would show a "Try again" layer and the 2nd attempt would show a feedback layer. If you use the freeform quiz or standard quiz slides for this it is very easy.  Just create the your quiz slide as you normally would with the feedback/incorrect layer. On the Question Dialog settings, make sure to change the number of attempts to 3.  Then add a simple "Try again" layer. Now on the feedback/incorrect layer add a trigger.

On the Layer

Action: Show Layer

Layer: Try Again

When: Tmeline Starts

Object: Incorrect Layer

Condition: If Attempt Count is less than 3

Adding the condition will show the try again layer as soon as the incorrect layer pops up until the 3rd try.  You don't have to add a variable because Storyline automatically adds it and keeps count on quiz slides.   If you need a demo let me know.
