numeric variable

I had a look at the slides and moving onto the slide does fix it, I did change the triggers to timeline start of the slide rather than the object.

I checked the tutorial as well and you did nothing wrong, I just think th tutorial is wrong, slide masters do not save state.

OK, that does make sense. I'm not quite sure how to set the the triggers to the timeline start of the slide; thought they were set that way.  Do you mean I should move the triggers associated with the radio button to each slide, rather than on the Master slide?

Maybe you're talking about the Object of triggers on the Master, which should be changed to:

That what you mean?

At the moment all the triggers are on the radio button they should ideally be on the slide which is available as an object in the dropdown. It doesnt make it easy to cut and paste them, but often state based triggers do not fire when on an object rather than the slide.

Thanks.  I really appreciate you helping me solve this. :)

Hi! I'm trying to achieve a similar effect, but it's not functioning as I anticipate it should. I have a trigger set on my slide to add a count when the timeline starts if a variable is false. When the learner clicks an object on the slide, it's set to change the variable to true before it advances to the next slide. However, when the learner revisits the slide, it's still adding a count. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've tried setting the slide to reset to initial state and resume saved state in case that was the issue, but it adds a count again regardless. I've included a screenshot of my trigger panel. Any assistance anyone can offer will be much appreciated!

Hi there, I'm trying to use numeric variables to set up an interaction where the answer will register as correct if the student selects any 4 of the items. I've been able to create this if the user selects 4 items right away, but not if they select, deselect, and then reselect items. I've tried it a whole bunch of different ways (they each have a slide in the attached). I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to achieve this. Thanks!

Hi, Ilana, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨

Thank you for sharing your .story file! I see you also opened a case with our support engineers, and you're working with Lianne. While there are different ways to achieve what you're looking for (and Lianne will probably offer you a great suggestion!), here's my recommendation:

• Connect the variable change (Add value 1 to CountCircles) to the submit button (Button 3), and add a condition to check if the oval is checked (If the state of Oval 1 = Selected). You should do that for each of your ovals.

• Keep the triggers that submit the interaction and change the correct and incorrect selections at the bottom of your list. 

You currently have one attempt allowed, but if you decide to change it to more than one, you should also add a trigger to set CountCircles to 0 on your Try Again layer.

I am attaching my suggestion here.

Let me know if this works!

Hi there,

The suggestion above worked really well. Thank you! I'm wondering if you can help me take it a step farther. I am trying to apply the same concept to a drag and drop item.... I've applied the principle of counting when the items are dropped on the target, but I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to set up the validation because it cannot be both a drag and drop and a pick one. Is this possible?

Thank you!

Hi, Ilana.

I'm happy the suggestion worked for you! You can apply the same idea to a drag-and-drop slide but still using the Pick One freeform question. 

I created a short 4-minute Peek 360 recording showing you how it would work, and I'm also attaching the edited file here.

Let me know if you have questions!

Hi, Ilana.

Nice to hear from you again!

If you right-click the target, you should have access to those drag-and-drop options as well:
