Passing Variable Data Between Storyline Blocks in Rise (a guide)

Owen, if your still monitoring.. Does passing the variables from SL blocks work only on computers (local storage)?  Since Rise360 is responsive, does this data sharing work on mobile devices? i.e. phone or tablet storage?  Thanks  

Owen - You are a true hero! Thank you so much for sharing this. It's exactly what I was looking for!

My pleasure.

I haven't taken time to fully debug but one thing I noticed is the use of spaces in your JavaScript before the open parenthesis. This will break your code.

For example: var name = player.GetVar ("TextEntry") ;

Should be: var name = player.GetVar("TextEntry");

Try eliminating all of the extra spaces in your code and test it again. 

Owen, thank you for sharing this. I've wanted to do something like this for a while. However, my lack of JavaScript knowledge has been a problem, and continues to be as I try to replicate this for one of my own projects.

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I tried to modify the code snippets Owen shared in a quick demo, but they're not working, which means I'm screwing something up. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong though.

I've attached the Rise and both SL files. I wanted to design it so that in the first SL block someone puts their name in, clicks 1 of 2 guide characters, and then clicks submit. After they click the Continue button in Rise, the second SL block should show their name and the guide character they selected.

Another question related to the example: how does the print certificate feature work in SL block 3? I've looked at some other threads, but they don't seem to work in HTML5 output.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

This is fascinating! Thanks for sharing Owen! 

Indeed great piece. One question pops out though. I tried using a 'completion' button after a Storyline block and it doesnot work in that case? What is your workaround to get that working?

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing, Owen. I am looking forward to using this.
