Adding variable values together (total) without continually adding
Hi all, I've trawled discussions but don't seem to be able to find what I need.
See attached story. It's on the "Shirley video" layer (where a user will watch a video and then score someone accordingly under 4 categories).
My issue is that the total keeps increasing if a user clicks an option and then changes their mind. I want the total score to only be the 4 category variables combined (without the ability to keep adding to the total score).
Thanks!

Hi Tony,
You can count the score not according to changes in these four variables but based on a new variable (let's call it 'Makingoptions') changes.
Detecting variable changes by four triggers:
Add value 1 to Makingoptions when (your four variables) changes
Recount the total score by five triggers:
1.Set CPOTCalculator to 0 when Makingoptions changes
2.Add(your four variables values) to CPOTCalculator when Makingoptions changesThanks Joanne, greatly appreciated!
Hello Toni
Another solution (similar to Joanne's) is to reset your total each time a decision is made. You would need these triggers for each Variable change, but it is a pretty easy option. I have attached your Story with these edits.
This is magical Ron, thank you! Makes sense and works perfectly, I was looking at it from the wrong angle! Cheers :)
