Question slide skips feedback layer (storyline)
The slide is set to provide Feedback "By Question," so the Submit trigger should automatically show the Correct (Juist) or Incorrect (Onjuist) layer. I don't know why, but it seems the slide is corrupted, and the program isn't recognizing those layers.
So the program sees this as a question without feedback. When a question slide doesn't provide feedback, the Submit trigger includes jumping to the next slide. You only see that happen when the preview includes the next slide.
Here's what I did to fix the automatic feedback function in the attached file:
- In QUESTION TOOLS > DESIGN, I switched Feedback to "None." This makes the layers disappear.
- Then I switched Feedback to "By Question" again. This created new Correct and Incorrect layers.
- I also deleted the triggers for showing the layers. Those aren't needed when the built-in feedback function is working.
OK I think I solved it. In case anyone else is struggeling with this, here's what I found:
- The way I built this it works without the Submit pick 1 trigger. I cannot delete the trigger for some reason but it worked when I disabled it.
- The way to go was indeed to use the form view feedback. This ensures storyline does skip your homebrew feedback layer. (Which is a weird thing, but no choice but to go with the flow)
- Also make sure to double check your triggers when it comes to NumericEntry field numbers. My triggers were wrong because the NumericEntry field numbers had changed in the process from 10 to 18 (perhaps when duplicating a slide or cleaning up the variable menu?). Note that the correct name is NOT in the timeline (they are named wrongly there) but in the "set NumericEntry x equal to.." trigger.
I'm glad you got it working.
FYI: I recommend giving all variables meaningful names. That helps with troubleshooting (for example, noticing if a trigger refers to the proper variable).
