Number Variable Maximum

Hi All,

I wondered if this was just me, or if anyone else has experienced it:

I have a number entry box which I ask trainees to put a number into. It is a large number (91825684) and it automatically created a trigger to update variable NumericEntry to the figure when the number loses focus.

I then set a slide trigger to jump to next slide when user hits enter with a condition that the NumericEntry be =

to 91825684.

Idea being they put the number in the box and hit enter, jump to next slide.

Here I found the bug.

When you are setting a Variable condition against a trigger, the variable can't be above 50000000 otherwise the conditional box does something strange. I can't post a copy here but effectively:

I enter:

Condition: Variable [NumericEntry] Equal To 91825684

However when I save the trigger becomes

Jump to next slide when user presses Enter and NumericEntry equal to 91825688.

I tried several variations, and as long as the number is under 50000000 then the trigger keeps it.. anything over 50000000 the trigger does something random to the end number..

Does any of this make sense?

  • I do what Math does shouldn't be needed but this has been around for a while

    When will this be fixed?  We shouldn't be limited to only 7 digits.  I am using a number variable to track the order of user clicks (I assigned a number to each object and then multiply by 10 and add that number when they click), works great until the 8th click.  After that it just adds zeros.

  • Hi Pedagogie! I apologize for the issues you are experiencing. 

    I have no news to share right now, but I will be sure to update you in the discussion when I do.

    How many numbers are you using in your variable?

    Have you tried Math's workaround
