Adding and Subtracting Points on Knowledge Checks
I have a 6 knowledge check questions where participants can earn 5 points for the correct answer or have a point deducted for each incorrect answer. The questions are set for unlimited attempts and ...
Adjusting the score when a user selects a button could cause problems if the user changes their selection before submitting their answer.
I suggest you use the built-in feedback layers:
- The "add 5" trigger could run when the timeline starts on the Correct layer.
- The "subtract 1" trigger could run when the timeline starts on the "Try Again" layer. (Be aware that they could lose more than 5 points if they keep submitting the wrong answer. So you might want to consider limiting their attempts.)
If that doesn't work for you, I suggest you upload a copy of the .story file that only has the questions and the slide with the total score. It'll be easier for someone to troubleshoot by looking at the file.
