Having some trouble with feedback layers obscuring page numbering
Let me rephrase your problem to make sure I understand. The page counter and remaining time counter should be displayed on ALL screens, including those with correct or incorrect feedback. However, the problem is that this is not currently the case (with feedbacks): the time counter disappears (and therefore the countdown timer no longer scrolls, which distorts the duration). Have I understood correctly?
Then take a look at the attached .story file: it's your own file that I've reduced to just the 2nd scene. On the 3 quiz screens, the page counter and remaining time counter remain visible. Does this solve your problem? If so, the solution lies in the correct and incorrect layer property settings (for each screen). The “Hide other slide layers” option was checked, so the layer on the slide mask where the counters appeared was also hidden. I unchecked this option on the 2 feedback layers. That's the only thing I did. You need to do this on the feedback layers of all other quiz screens. Next time, copy and paste a quiz screen with these options already deselected to create your other quiz screens.
I wonder if Nedim hasn't already suggested a solution that works , but that you don't approve of, and I can't understand why. I'm afraid mine doesn't fully answer the question (and yet it does). 😅 So please let me know.
Hi Thierry,
You're absolutely right—the 'Hide other slide layers' option was enabled on all layers. I offered a quicker solution by unchecking this option in the Feedback Master, which overrides it for all feedback layers across slides, eliminating the need to adjust each layer individually. If I may say, both solutions work without the workaround shown in the video, making it unnecessary. The only required trigger is 'Show Timer Loop' when the timeline starts on the master slide. This ensures the timer remains visible beneath the feedback layer, as feedback layers are partially transparent, without relying on the 'Toggle Show Timer' trigger in the Feedback Master. Your suggestion to copy and paste a quiz screen with these options already deselected is highly valuable for efficiently creating additional quiz screens.
I believe Hannah is trying to recreate the same effect in her project, where the timer appears on top of all other layers, as demonstrated in First File.mp4, rather than beneath the "Correct" or "Incorrect" layers. And that’s what bothers me. If I add a trigger—"Set ShowTimer to value True"—on the Time Loop layer, everything would work as expected.However, this trigger is missing from Hannah's original file. While there is a workaround or another way to achieve this, the question remains: What else is different in Hannah's current file compared to the original one?
