Decreasing points for answering questions

This is a touch complicated, because you have to build the timer.
You need to-
- Create a results slide to access the quiz.scorePoints variable
- Create a new number variable to count down from
- On your question slide, in the form view, set the correct answer point value to 1
- Create a layer (and on the base layer, trigger it to show as soon as the base timeline starts)
- Create a subtract-from-number-variable trigger when the timeline ends on that layer
- Loop that layer (jump to sec 0 when timeline ends)
- Return to the base layer, create a trigger that submits the answer when the user selects the hotspot
- "Before that" (above it in the trigger order) create a trigger that adds your new number variable to the quiz.scorePoints when the user submits their answer.
What happens is that as soon as the learner opens the question, the number variable starts to decrease. When the learner touches the hotspot, the number variable (say, 900) is added to the quiz.ScorePoints (1, equalling 901).
I've mocked it up in the attachment. Have fun! Let us know how it goes.

That's very cool - thanks very much. I'll have a play with that.
