Storyline - Knowledge Check
There are different ways to do what you want. Here's one way:
Create a T/F variable to track whether the user chooses the summary path. For example, have the default value be False. Change it to True when the user clicks whatever they click to go to the summary. Be sure this trigger comes before any trigger that jumps to another slide.
On the Failure layer of the Results slide:
- Have a button that jumps to the full content.
- Have a button to Retry the quiz. Give this button the Initial state of Hidden.
- Add a trigger that changes the Retry button to Normal when the timeline starts on the layer with the condition that the variable = False.
A user who does the summary, fails the quiz, and then goes through the full content still needs to retry the quiz. So on the slide before the quiz, have these triggers run when the timeline starts on the slide:
- Change the variable to False.
- Reset the Results of the quiz.
This is demonstrated in the attached file.
Thank you Judy. I have given this a go, but can't quite get it to work correctly.
I will have another try in the morning.
Leaving a project for a while and then coming back to recheck it is one of the all-time great troubleshooting tips. I hope it helps you. đ
If you still can't get it working, upload the .story file. Here are the best practices for doing that:
- Only include slides that are related to the problem.
- Be sure objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
- If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace proprietary text with âipsum loremâ text.
Thanks Judy. I have definitely made some more progress this morning...but am stuck on the Quiz Reset if the user has failed the quiz when selecting the 'Summary' path. Everything else seems to be working correctly.
I have a button that takes them back to the full training on the Failure layer which works correctly, but it does not reset the quiz.
On the failure layer I have Reset Results when user clicks the 'Return to Full Training' button, if Summary = True.
On the slide before the first quiz question, I also have Reset Results when the user clicks next if Summary = True.
Are you sure the variable is changing when it should?
- Those reset-results triggers will only run if Summary = True. Maybe it's not True. When working with variables, it helps to insert a reference to display the values in temporary text boxes. That lets you see if a variable changes as expected.
- BTW, I wouldn't put a reset trigger on the return-to-full-training button. I'd only reset results when the user is about to take the quiz: on the slide before the first question, and on the Retry Quiz button on the Results slide. And those reset triggers don't need a condition, because the results should be reset in those situations for all users.
Are you sure you're resetting the correct results?
- Doublecheck that the reset results trigger refers to the appropriate Results slide.
Beyond that, troubleshooting is impossible without seeing the file.
DebiBâ: I added a demo file to my original reply. You can compare your triggers with the ones in the demo.
FYI: I also edited it to say that the triggers on the last slide of the full-content scene should run when the timeline starts on the slide. That ensures the triggers run even if the user clicks Prev until they get back to the Results slide.
Thank you for all of this advice, Judy. I really appreciate it.
I will take a look at all of this, and hopefully this will solve my issues.
I'll let you know.
