Storyline360: Display selected 'MCQ' choices/objects vs correct answers in a summary page.
Question: Does anyone know what objects, triggers or variables to set this up in Storyline360? Where selected objects/choices in a previous slide are reflected in the summary slide at the end.
I was just mindblown at the scale of an e-learning module - so there were 50+ clickable objects/selections on a slide. It was a scoring activity to assess how difficult a task was.
I do not think the selections were set up as True/False or MCQ objects as it was not a checkbox, but each selection would create a rectangle around the selection, as shown in 1st part of image above.
Whatever you selected on the previous slide, would be reflected in a summary slide later, comparing the 'selection' you chose vs the 'correct answer'. See 2nd half of image above.

It's all about updating variables and referencing their values on the next slide. For example:
- Start by creating three text variables (q1Choice, q2Choice, and q3Choice).
- Group each set of clickable choices into a separate button set, so you can trigger variable changes based on the selected state of each button.
- Assign values to the variables depending on which choice is selected. Each choice should update the corresponding variable to reflect the user's selection.
- On the next slide, reference all three variables and place them wherever needed, for example, in text boxes to display the user's selected choices stored in the variables.
Tip: Make sure to give all objects (buttons, text boxes, etc.) meaningful names. This makes it much easier to identify and reference them when creating triggers.
I've attached a simple reference file for your review.
EDIT: I've updated the file to include a red rectangle around each choice, added to the object's selected state.
