A Solution to rounding in Storyline – without using Javascript

Hi  - thanks for this script.

I've added the additional line to the code:

var numTimes = numValue * 0.3;

and now I don't get a rounded whole number with every calculation

e.g.

enter 100 returns 30 - cool

enter 30 returns 9 - cool

enter 54 returns 16.2 - ???  would like it to round unto 17

NE1?

var numValue = player.GetVar("howMany");

var numTimes = numValue * 0.3;

var JSRoundedNum = numTimes.toFixed(1);

player.SetVar("total",JSRoundedNum);

I ended up just creating the variables and dividing then multiplying them. It worked like a charm.

All you seriously have to do is delete the first set - %Results.ScorePercent%%  - and then remove the parentheses and then all you get is the total amount of points. Hope this helps! Allison

Please does anyone know if the number of decimal places stored has changed?  I have published a course in Storyline 1 before and using the dividing/multiply method and all worked fine.  Have now published from Storyline 2 and I get the two decimal places again.  Also, I am now using HTML5 output.  Thanks

Hi,

As someone who doesn't really know much about Javascript, I'm trying to figure out how to solve a problem I'm having. In our course, we have a variable that we are displaying on each page to show the % complete. We did the divide by 10,000,000 then multiply by 10,000,000 and it's working fine  non-mac devices. However Macs are still displaying the two decimal places and we want to get rid of that. So, I tried to add this JS after my % visited variable is calculated and it's not working.

Here is what I added: 

var player = GetPlayer();

var numValue = GblScreensVisitedPercentage
var JSRoundedNum = numValue.toFixed(1);
player.SetVar("RoundedNum",JSRoundedNum);

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Wow. I was skeptical, but this worked great! Thank you soooooooo much.

Why couldn't you perform your math functions followed by the division and multiplication at the end to get the whole number. You could also use a condition to say if the answer is >10, you subtract one of the 0's, still allowing you to use the program without JS. 

ex.  answerNum / 100000 x 10000000 if answerNum<10

then another trigger that says answerNum / 10000 x 10000000 if answerNum>=10

The concept should be true. I'd have to actually play with the numbers to make it work exactly, but these kinds of triggers are definitely doable.

This works fine in flash version but not in html5 version

Does anyone have specific screen shots on how to do round the percentage? I really can't seem to work out how to do this.

Thanks!

I've tried this method in Storyline 3, and it doesn't seem to work. I still get a percentage down to the hundredths.  I've even taken the divide/multiply operation to the maximum number of characters to no avail.

I tried copying some Javascript as well. I created a trigger to execute the following Javascript command: Math.round(Results.ScorePercent); 

This did not work, either.

Any suggestions?
