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...
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.
Ahhhhh.... so obvious as well! Thank you!
While cleaning up my To-Do list, I realized I hadn't followed up earlier. Below is the updated version that uses JavaScript to ensure only one letter can be typed into each input field. Additionally, once a letter is entered, the focus will automatically shift to the next field. Give it a try!
