Help for interaction in text insert field

Yes, I use JavaScript to enhance the text entry field functionality. Specifically, I limit the maximum allowed characters to 1 initially and then increase the limit by 1 for each correctly typed character, up to a maximum of 4 characters.

Additionally, JavaScript allows me to update the text entry value in real-time as the user types, rather than waiting for the field to lose focus. While it's possible to achieve this functionality without JavaScript, it would be more complex and less user-friendly. Without JavaScript, the user would need to click outside the text entry field to trigger validation and update the value after each character is entered.

I also use Storyline True/False variables (e.g., Level1, Level2, etc.) For each correctly typed character, I set the corresponding variable to True in my JavaScript code. Based on the values of these variables, I unlock the level buttons accordingly.

The implementation might be a bit complex and could definitely be simplified with less code if needed. My main goal is to ensure that all levels are unlocked if the user types all characters correctly. However, if the user enters an incorrect character, the levels are immediately locked again.

I've attached my .story file. Let me know if you need further assistance with adjusting the code.

The script updates a value called inputBoxValue as the user types. To do something when a specific value ha sbeen typed, just create one or more triggers to watch that variable for changes. For example, if your target code is A1234, create triggers similar to this:

Do something   (like open a layer)
    When inputBoxValue changes
        if inputBoxValue = value A1   (or A12 or A123, etc.)
            Else do something else   (if needed)

If you are just showing layers or opening a lightbox, then you can continue to return to this same text input box. If you need to navigate away from this slide and resume checking on another different slide, then yes you would need to include the script trigger that fires when the user clicks the text entry. Just include whatever trigger matches you need for inputBoxValue on that new slide.
