Reset multiple variables to default values

Hi,

I have about 25 variables that I would like to reset with the click of a reset button. All of these items are on a single slide with layers. I added a trigger to the reset button using the javascript above but it is not resetting the variables. Is there another step that I might be missing?

Should this code reset the variables on the slide if the reset button is on the same slide? Does the reset button need to be on a different slide in order for the timeline to reset first?

Does my code look correct or am I missing something?

var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar("greenbeans", "False");
player.SetVar("saladmix", "False");
player.SetVar("mixedveggies", "False");
player.SetVar("slicedtomatoes", "False");
player.SetVar("topsirloin", "False");
player.SetVar("yogurt", "False");
player.SetVar("grilledsalmon", "False");
player.SetVar("milk", "False");
player.SetVar("mixedfruit", "False");
player.SetVar("pasta", "False");
player.SetVar("pudding", "False");
player.SetVar("quinoa", "False");
player.SetVar("apple", "False");
player.SetVar("beans", "False");
player.SetVar("slicedapples", "False");
player.SetVar("blueberries", "False");
player.SetVar("bread", "False");
player.SetVar("brownrice", "False");
player.SetVar("cherries", "False");
player.SetVar("cottagecheese", "False");
player.SetVar("greenbeans", "False");
player.SetVar("grilledchicken", "False");

I greatly appreciate any input.

Thanks!

Stacey: Based on your description and code, this should work. All of the variables you have listed are defined in Storyline, spelled exactly that way (all lowercase), and are True/False variables (not number or text), correct? If so, have you tried publishing your file and placing the published output on a web server? Sometimes, JavaScript won't run when the published output is launched from the local drive.

Uday: I apologize for the late reply; I'm just seeing your note now. I no longer have IE 7 on any of my machines so I can't say whether your JavaScript should run in that environment. When trying it out, be sure you're testing the content from a server and be sure JavaScript is activated in the browser (sometimes a user's security settings are set quite restrictive and may block JavaScript).

Thank you, Steve. I have not tried publishing to a server yet. That might be the key.

Hi Stacey,

If you're in need of a testing web server, you may want to look at one of the free options mentioned in this article. 

Hi

Does anyone know if the restart trigger problem has been resolved in Storyline 2? I need to make a case to our IT department to get the upgrade prioritised.

Thanks

HI Emma-Lee,

It looks like the restart course trigger is working as expected in Storyline 2. 

This looks like it is all for true/false variables. Will the javascript method work for variables with a number value?

This worked for me too. What a life saver!

Awesome happy to hear that this helped you out Andrea!
