Displaying dial positions
What is the best way to display dial positions? I have one that is state-based vs. using a text box for the positions. The current amount of triggers My project: The learner turns the large dial to ...
Hi DavidNowlin-f8a something like the attached will reduce the amount of logic you will need and takes advantage of referencing variables using the %myVar% method within a text field. The big dial variable, just determines which variable the little dial should assign it's value to. I put some extra logic just to hide the text field if the value is zero, as number variables are initialised as zero.
I like your solution. It is much cleaner. I have been asked to have each position start with a specific number. When I advance the larger dial to the next number, the location of the smaller dial sets the number for the new position even with defaults set. If I put a trigger to reset the smaller dial on each turn of the larger dial to the new number the learner would turn the digit to a nine and when the digit was revisited it would default to a 2.
I need 1 3 1 2 1 as the default frequency. And if the learner changes the number when they return it will keep their number and not reset to the 1 3 1 2 1 default.
Hi DavidNowlin-f8a see the attached file. The "999" I am using is just an arbitrary number that can't be set by the dial to prevent the values from continually resetting. The key thing is the new variables that hold the "default" values until they are first used.
Thank you. That should solve the issue.
This is a new way to input triggers for dials for me. Is there a resource to better understand how this is done?
Hi DavidNowlin-f8a,
Happy to pop in and share this user guide with you for all things dials in Storyline 360! It includes information on triggering actions that could be helpful!
Let us know if you have any other questions!
Thank you
