Layer not showing in crossword!
So I am having issues with my crossword not showing one of the layers in storyline. It will show the Clue layer and the "Try again" layer, but the "You got it!" layer just won't show. I have 2 slides, one with the variable references to each word so I could see if there were any issues with the letters for each variable, but there are none. I have also tried re-making the layers and reordering the layers but nothing. I have shown it to my team and even they are baffled by this. I'm hoping that the wizards in E-learning heroes can find a way.
I am also concerned that the learner can type more than one letter into the text-entry field and not be able to see that there is more than one letter, which will cause an error in the variables,... is there a way to cap the number of letters inputted in?
I cannot take credit for the original file as it was produced by another e-learning Hero, I have just edited to suit my needs.
When previewing the file, I had to put a temporary slide in to show all the variable references, so to get to it, I also put in a temporary 'next' button. The answers are in the notes.
The issue lies in variable management: at least one variable was missing, another was used more than once in the validation trigger, and one variable was assigned an incorrect letter/value. For future projects, I recommend implementing a more organized system in the validation trigger to make it easier to read and troubleshoot, as shown in the screenshot below.
Ah, Thank you Nedim!
I've not been using storyline for long and I am still trying to learn how to work with variables. The original file was downloaded from another discussion feed and I had just tailored and organised to suit my project. I was able to organise the timeline and the variables in the manager, but I did notice that I couldn't re-order any of them in the triggers pane. It may seem a daft question, but how did you manage to get them in the word orders?You're welcome, Jessica! Open the Trigger Wizard, then drag the conditions up or down to reorder them. This makes it easier to organize based on your criteria. In your file, I organized them by word order, which helped me quickly spot any mistakes.
