2 attempts only

Hi team

I'm wanting users to only have 2 attempts on each slide.  Somehow I've managed to make it work on the first slide, but the others only give the user one attempt.  Where have I gone wrong?

Thanks in advance for helping.

      Thanks so much for taking the time to do a video.  I'm a visual learner and that video really helped.

    As Ron pointed out, the file uses the same number variable to track the attempts. Triggers keep adding to it, so its value is higher than expected after the 1st question.

    And you don't need special variables or triggers to control the attempts on standard question slides. That's built in whenever the Attempts field is set to >1. 

    • The default for Try Again is to return to the base with the previous answers still showing, and the user can select another answer. If you want to "erase" the previous answer, add triggers the change the buttons back to Normal. Make those run when the user clicks the button that closes the Try Again layer.
