Count variables and storing values of the buttons clicked

Hi all, I'm trying to create a Johari Window in Storyline 360. I'm facing an issue with the count variable. I created a variable to add 1 if the button is clicked, but when I click the same button again, it should subtract 1. I'm not able to get this done. It keeps adding and when I add a trigger to subtract, it keeps subtracting when I click the button.

Also, how do I store the button (text written in it) which I clicked on slide 1 to slide 2? 

Any help on this, please?

  • Hi, Sharath,

    If you want one button to sometimes add and sometimes subtract, you need to apply conditions to the triggers. The easiest in this case to use a condition based on the value a T/F variable, because those are easy to toggle.  You can see this in action in the attached file. 

    If you want to "store" the text from a button that was clicked on slide 1 so you can use that info on slide 2, add a trigger to that button that puts the text into a text variable when it is clicked. 

    • If there are multiple buttons, and you only want the last one clicked, put the text into the same variable. 
    • If you want to track multiple buttons, put the text for each button into its own variable.
    • To show the value of any variable, type the variable name within percentage symbols. For example, this would show the value of a variable called Count:

    %Count%

  • Very helpful indeed.

    I was trying to create a series of questions and I needed a toggle function to check/uncheck user choices. Thanks Judy.
