Need to create a evaluation scoring module

Good day Everyone! I'm hoping someone has done this one already and I just haven't figured out how to configure the triggers. I'm looking to create a scoring module where if a check box is clicked, it adds a value to the variable that is displayed, but if it is deselected because someone changed their mind then the value is subtracted from the displayed variable. I've played with the states of the check boxes but can't find the right combination of triggers. I've attached a slide where I have triggers for Checkbox 1 where I'm trying to do this.

The triggers I have so far:

Adjust Variable-Add 5 to "Variable1" when the state of "Check Box 1" is "Selected"

Adjust Variable-Subtract 5 from "Variable1" when the state of "Check Box 1" is "Visited" if State of "Check Box 1" = "Selected"

If anyone can assist it is greatly appreciated.

  • Based on the provided options, it looks like the user is supposed to make a single choice. In other words, they shouldn't be able to select more than one option.

    • To accomplish that, the buttons could be put into a Button Set (Storyline 360: Working with Button Sets | Articulate - Community ).
    • Because the interaction is about choosing an option, the buttons don't need a Visited state. If tracking is needed, conditions can check for =Selected or ≠Selected. 
    • Note: User-interface standards call for using radio buttons (not checkboxes) when only 1 option should/can be selected.

    If the buttons are in a button set, the triggers to score that question could set the variable based on the buttons being clicked. For example, set the variable to 5 when the Achieved button is clicked. Set it to 3 when the Needs Improvement button is clicked. Etc.

    Thank you so, so, so, so much! It's perfect! In case anyone else needs it, I've attached a template! Also, there is a Success layer if the learner matches the range of the correct variable number and Try Again layer if they are out of the correct variable range.
