Storyline 360 Advance Branching Help
Hello all,
I'm just getting back into Storyline after several years of working in another product. I want to create a course where the learner selects a role, see example below.
And then based on their role they go through specific scenes. Some of these scenes would be shared by two or all three roles, but not all.
Is there a way to set this up so that roles can be marked/tracked on which scene they go to? For example, Role 1 goes through Scene 1, 2 and then quiz?

When you have the user select their role, set a text or number variable (ex name: "role") corresponding to the button they click (e.g., text variable is set to "customer" or number variable is set to "3").
Then, when they click a button to advance, set up the trigger to take them to a specific slide/scene based on what the variable is set to (e.g., advance to scene 2 if role = "customer").
As Phil said, you'll need to use a variable to track the selected role. And you'll need to add conditions to some "Next" triggers to branch to the appropriate scene.

JudyNollet and Phil_Wingfield Thank you for your replies.
I'm having some difficulty setting this up correctly. Would you mind taking a look Slide 8.1 and helping me out?
MelissaMorri856 : Trigger order matters. Storyline can't run a trigger if it's already jumped to another slide.
To adjust the EcolabCreateCheck variable, move that trigger before the "Jump to slide..." trigger.
By the way, I highly recommend adding temporary text boxes that display variable references. That's a big help when troubleshooting, because you can see whether or not a variable changes as expected.
