Quiz: Bring points from level 1 to level 2?
I am using a quiz template (jeopardy) and have modified it into two levels.
In level one, you need at least 5000 points (out of 11000) to reach level 2.
When reaching level 2, I want to bring the points from level 1 and add them so that the total score on question board is updated.
but I get the answer from Storyline support that it´s not doable with triggers.
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve it?

Hi,
It is very easy since you are already using number variable to track score the same you can take on level and make eg. Score_Var = Level2Score_Var then it will show the score of Level 1 and then you can continue further.Thank´s for helping me! But I´m not sure what you mean and how to do.
DO you have the possibility to download my file and help me or in another way explain it?Defiantly, I would like to show you how to do it. I downloaded the file you attached but due to language I didn't understand, maybe we can connect, and I will show you how to achieve this.

A variable maintains its value throughout a course, until a trigger adjusts the value. So, if you have a number variable tracking the score for Level 1, you can use that variable's value when the user reaches Level 2.
For example, you could set the Level 2 score to the value of the Level 1 score if you want to start with that. Or just add the Level 1 score to the Level 2 score whenever you want that to happen.

will you be able to do a step by step with pictures? Not that familiar with this....
The PRIMER post that I linked to in my previous reply includes images, as well as details about trigger calculations.
I suggest you review that post. You could even keep it open while you edit your file. Trying to do something in Storyline is often the best way to learn it.
Simply add this trigger to the Slide Master:
Since all points are already defined in Form View, the custom "score" variable, along with the triggers used to add or subtract from it, seems redundant. The total score is automatically updated when a learner lands on either the correct or incorrect layer. Referencing the built-in variable Results_level1.ScorePoints on each slide should be sufficient to track the score accurately.hm, can you show in some way how you mean, because I don´t understand?
There are several issues in your file, not just with the scoring logic. I've corrected them as best I could and ensured that the score from Level 1 carries over properly to Level 2 when it starts.
Instead of relying on custom score variables, I referenced the built-in score variables: Results_level1.ScorePoints and Results_level2.ScorePoints. I also disabled all triggers that were adding to or subtracting from the custom score variables. These triggers were redundant, as the points for correct and incorrect answers are already managed in Form View and automatically counted by the built-in scoring system.
When the quiz is retried, the built-in score variables (Results_level1.ScorePoints, Results_level2.ScorePoints) are reset, so the custom score variables are effectively reset too. This ensures the scoring starts fresh each time.
