Built in states not working as expected
Hello lschivley
I think I have identified several issues in your fichier.story file.
However, as I am not sure what you actually want the final behavior to be, I am unsure what to do.
Do you want the movable answers to remain “normal” until the learner clicks ‘Validate’? In that case, you forgot to uncheck the “Change object state only when interaction is complete” box in the Drag and Drop Options.
"... if they are placed outside a target, the Incorrect drop state is displayed instead of remaining normal.“: this is completely normal since its correct drop zone is one of the three targets, not outside a target (so if it is not ”correct,“ it is ”incorrect").
“The Drag state does not work at all.”: This seems to come from the group. May I suggest a significant simplification? You do not need to use the “Insert a mathematical equation” function since you are not using it for anything else than write it, and group it with a shape. Just use a shape with text inside it, with the states “Normal, Drag, Correct Drop Zone, and Incorrect Drop Zone,” and the “Drag” state will display normally. (Plus, it's easier to see which equation it is.) Take a look at the file.story I've attached in slide 2. Let us know if this solves your problems.
For simple equations, I may be able to type them in without the equation tool, but with more complex equations, that is not possible. I do want feedback before the submit button is pressed. This is being done as a learning activity, and I want immediate feedback for the first few problems.
