Multiple choice quiz with a limit (3 choices max)
I have a multiple choices quiz with 9 answers but I need to limit them to 3 choices (means when more than 3 are selected so the 4th can't be "selected" or the 3rd becomes "normal").;
I tried with many variables found here on the forum but everytime it resets the checkbox to normal and I can't select them anymore...
Would you have a tip for this kind of issue ? Would you know how to execute it with javascript ?
Quite easy to fix. Adding 2 variables. disableChoices and maxChoices... adding a countup on the checkboxes...so disableChoices counts up from 0-9...

Then added a SlideLayer with content to block the Response Checkboxes. Triggering that to show when the variable disableChoices => maxChoices... and bingo... no more clicks possible.Kind regards,

PS. you might want to change the look and feel of the blockChoices SlideLayer ;-)
And if you want more choices enabled...just change the variable maxChoices. Its now set to 3.Thank you for you Quick answer, as usual you succeeded in answering and explaining well !
One thing was missing from this... when selecting a choice...the user could change his response...and when clicking it again and again..as is...it will count up and up... so thats no good.
Fixed that by adding shapes to block the choices on click. On the shape itself are triggers that subtract 1, hide the shape and reset the state of the choice.
A simple Javascript to hide the elements is used too.

Only the first three choices i added the shapes for... the others still need it.Thank you Math ! :)
However, I have another problem...
Imagine a learner doesn't read the description saying "pick 3 choices maximum" and that learner wanted to pick 5 choices. As the time he choses the 3rd answer, he is blocked and can't change his answers. How to do so ?
Thank you :)
You can add in the SlideLayer that blocks all a text... 'You have only 3 choices!' 'Do you want to retry' and add a button in it that frees all selections and resets all to the start. Actually using the 'Subtract' solution you dont need to reset anything... just close the slidelayer when the user wants to change things.
