Course Paths/Branching
Hi Brett
Not sure you still come to this forum since it's been a while. If not, can anyone help me with his suggestion.
I created 3 Role btns on a beginning slide but I don't know how they will work. I set the Next btn on a page to direct the respective Roles (3 Next btn triggers).
I just don't know how this will work. Does the user click on their Role btn on the first slide, then what?
Please help.
Thanks,
Dani
Hi Dani, I do browse the forum from time to time and still pick up a few tricks even now.
I think what you need to do is create a number variable, call it Role. Then on your first slide with your three buttons have a trigger on the first button that sets that variable to equal 1, set a trigger on the second button to change it to 2, and finally set a trigger on the third button to change it to 3. Now, you need to set triggers on the Next button of the slide preceding where your branches are.
If you structure you course using scenes I find it much easier to work with.So, at the end of each scene your Next button has three triggers attached to it. First trigger says if the variable Role = 1 to jump to scene (x), second trigger says if variable Role = 2 jump to scene (y) and the third trigger says, if variable Role = 3 jump to scene (z).
Once you've created your Role variable and the user has selected one you can continue to direct your branching at the end of each scene to each role however you like.
Hope that helps.
Brett
