Percentages on the results slide without decimals
Hey there, I have created a quiz. Everything works. On the results page the percentages achieved are displayed with 2 decimal places. How can I change this to a whole number, without a decimal range...
You need to create your own custom variable and display that instead of the SL built in one:
- Make a new number variable, called RoundedPercent (use any name you want, but has to be consistent throughout)
- Make a trigger on the Results Slide that sets RoundedPercent to the SL built in score
- Follow that with a trigger to Execute JavaScript to round the number for you
var player = GetPlayer();
var score = player.GetVar("RoundedPercent");
player.SetVar("RoundedPercent", Math.round(score));- Finally, make sure you are displaying your new RoundedPercent variable on the results slide stage instead of the SL built in one.
Sounds not as easy as aspected 😅 I will give this a try. Thanks a lot!
Here's a simple alternative approach: Don't show the percentages at all. Instead, only show the points.
The default point value for a correct answer is 10 points. Depending on the number of questions and the %-correct required to pass, the built-in PassPoints variable might have a decimal. If that's the case, don't display the reference to the PassPoints variable. Instead, just enter the number of questions needed to pass.
Here's another option to consider: Change the questions so they're only worth 1 point each. Then the results can be presented in a "you correctly answered [ScorePoints] out of [total possible points]" format.
- FYI: You assign/edit points in FORM VIEW (see attached image).
