convert number variable to text

I assume maybe possible with scripting.  I am trying to use the "Survey question" trick to pass score (variable) to LMS, but it seems this only works with text variables.  What I really need is how to modify the trick to pass a number variable to LMS.

Hi Bruce! Sounds like you've already seen this article then.

Hopefully someone in the community will be able to assist you.

Yes that was my starting point.  But it only works with text variables.  but I figured out how to add script to convert number variable to text variable, and then this works.  It's so simple, a shame SL doesn't just build it into the product.  99% of my variables are numbers, not text.

Some javascript that should work

Number to Text

var player=GetPlayer();
var number = player.GetVar("numberVariable");
var text = number.toString();
player.SetVar("numberVariable", text);

Text to Number

var player=GetPlayer();
var text = player.GetVar("textVariable");
var number = integer.parse(text);
player.SetVar("textVariable", number);

Thanks Jackson :)

Good Afternoon Everyone, 

So to follow up, I am stuck after I implement the Javascript: 

• I create a trigger
  • Action: Execute Javascript
  • Script: Pasted in script:
  • When: Timeline Starts:

What would be the following steps? 

Hi Ruben,

This thread is a bit older so I'm not certain that folks are still subscribed. I'm not equipped to assist with Javascript, but you may want to share a bit more about what specifically you need to know in terms of next steps? You could also reach out to any users in this forum using the "contact me" button on their profile. 

Thanks Matthew :)

Hi All,

I'm trying to change 30 separate number variables to 30 separate text variables. Do I need to repeat the javascript above 30 times, or is there a more elegant solution?

Hello Matthew

I have a slide where I need the students to choose 5 options. Each option has 5 marks assigned to it. Since I need to award marks on each response hence I couldn't rely on Pick Many. 

For this purpose, I created a numeric entry variable 'Score' and assigned a trigger(attached screenshot). This variable adds all the marks based on what option the student has chosen. 

Now I need to reflect the accumulated marks from this custom variable in my LMS, hence I followed the instructions you have outlined by using the How Many survey slide.  But the result is not awarded.

Please help! What am I doing wrong?
