Question bank - numbering questions

Hello all - we here are having an issue getting this trigger to work on the Previous button.  I have created the previous/next buttons for the questions slides and have attempted to figure out a way for the variable to change correctly when moving to the next page or previous page.  Can anyone shed some light on what information needs to be entered for this to work?  Is there a way to tell the program to only add this value of 1 when the page is first visited? 

Has anyone figured this out.  I have spent hours on what seems like a simple thing. 

All I am trying to do is:

1. Show question X of N on each quiz question

    (not a problem with variables and incrementing them when the slide timeline starts

2. Be able to Review quiz and move forward and backward with Prev and Next  Showing Slide X of N
   (Seems impossible and have not seen a solution offered that works)

What I have tried...

1. Incrementing slide number

     Created Variables QuestionNumber and QuestionCount.  QuestionCount = total number of questions
     Added text box to Quiz Master Slide  Question %SlideNumber% of %SlideCount%

     Add Slide Trigger to Quiz Master Slide. Add 1 to QuestionNumer when timeline start

2. Reset QuestionNumber when user either Retries or Reviews quiz
    Add Trigger to Retry and Review buttons on Results Slide
    Set QuestionNumber =0 when user clicks button
    (Only works if it is placed before the Review Quiz trigger

3. Allow user to move forward and backward in Review Quiz Mode

    Added two Player Triggers for the PREV button on the Quiz Master Slide

    subtract 1 from QuestionNumber when user click PREV  if QuestionNumber > 1

    Jump to Previous Slide if user Click PREV button

    (This will not work because Storyline only executes the first trigger. Changing the order of the triggers results in

      only the first trigger being executed)

    Moving the Triggers from the Quiz Master Slide to the Question Slide made no difference.  Only the first Trigger is

executed regardless of the order.

In my humble opinion this is an ERROR of Storyline.  The only way to effectively use question count is to TURN OFF

Review Results.      

We are using an identical solution to number a quiz in one of our courses.  Today an issue was identified with the numbering in which during a retry of the quiz the counter will randomly increment twice.  So in our example we have 15 questions.  The first time through we get numbers 1 of 15 through 15 of 15 on the questions in our text box.  If you fail the quiz we allow a retry and during any retries at some point the counter will increment twice so at the end we end up with 16 of 15 as our question counter.  

The example file above that Antony posted does the same thing.  During a retry I can see the counter increment twice.  I ran through his example multiple times and the double increment is on the different question each time just like in our course.  Our variables are set exactly the same as those in his example (seems we had similar ideas of how to do this numbering).

Has anyone else reported this or run into it?  Is there a solution to this issue available?

HI Ian,

I just happened to see a post that LOOKS like the "poster" was having a similar problem to yours (of course looks can be deceiving) and there was an "odd" solution. Apologies if these things are not the same at all!

Thank you Rebecca, that is exactly what we are seeing.  Going to give that solution a try now.

The solution in the link Rebecca posted worked beautifully.

Cool! Right place, right time

And shout out to the community member who found a solution.

Hi Bridget! This thread is a bit dated, but here is the file if you needed it.

Thank you Leslie. Do you know what version this is? I have '13 and it doesn't open for me.

Well, that might be the issue Bridget :) This thread and that file are for Storyline...and it sounds like you may have Studio. The files would not be compatible.
