Create variables for a budget tool
Hi There, I'm trying to create a variable slide in SL360 that shows the following example: The user enters a $( random amount) and calculation/variable automatically multiples by 50%, 30%, and...
It's easier to do it with Javascript, but if that's not something you like to use, here's a workaround (example attached)
1. Add a numeric entry field
2. Create 3 additional variables, one for each percentage
3. Set all 3 variables to match the user's entry and to open up a new layer
4. Create a trigger to set new values for each of the three variables when the timeline on the new slide reaches 0.1
5. Staying on the new slide, add a box over the variables, which disappears quickly. Hide the layer once the box over the new variables has disappeared. Set this layer to always reset to initial state.
Other solutions exist - you could use something like this to avoid fussing around with layers: Setting Variables to Perform a Calculation in Articulate Storyline - E-Learning Heroes
