Numbering Quiz Questions in Storyline
I share Roger's frustration here. The review section is what seems to throw this concept for a loop. I didnt even consider resetting the variable back to 0 when the review page launches, so that will take care of that issue for me, thanks guys.
The problem I'm sitting with like Roger is when you start using the back button while in review. Because the trigger is based on "when timeline starts" you end up with the question count variable being fired again when you use the back button in the review pages. So you ultimately end up with something that looks like "Question 43 of 30".
I've tried to set the variable to update +1 when the user clicks the next button, and subtract 1 when they click the back button, but this caused even more weird behaviour. I would end up with a situation where the count would not update at all (so it would remain on zero) and would only start incrementing the variable when I reached the last question in storyline preview mode. When you're previewing say 10 questions in a quiz, only once i get to question 10, and then click the next nav button the variable would start incrementing. At this stage in the preview mode there in no next question to go to, so the next button doesnt lead anywhere, but the variable starts increasing! Very strange indeed.
I have not tried this by publishing the quiz properly, so i'm not sure if this might just be a glitch in the preview mode. I will give it a try sometime and let you guys know.
If anyone finds a nice solution, share it please
