Advice needed re counting objects

I have an activity (in Storyline 360) that requires counting of objects on an image and displaying a running total each time I click on a unique object. However, if I click on an already selected object, it is counted again, therefore reflecting an inaccurate result in the total number block. How do I change this so that each click is only counted once?

  • Thank you for the advice. I edited my trigger (similair to yours) but I added an "if else" condition to "subtract 1" - see screenshot below.

     

  • The amounts of objects defines your solution. With a few objects you can add variables for each Object. Eg. IsObjectselected = 0.  When clicked change that variable to 1. Add a condition to your count. If 0 -> add 1, else do nothing.

    If you have many objects a javascript solution might be better.

    The easiest way to do this is by tracking the object's Visited state. Simply put, if the object is not in the Visited state when clicked, add 1 to the variable.
