Hi Francesco,

I'm far from expert in Javascript, but this approach does work. Below, variables Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 are text variables in Storyline. Their values are put into new Javascript variables, and in the last line of the Javascript, those are being concatanated with spaces between them and placed into the variable Totals, which is another Storyline text variable in this example.

var player = GetPlayer();

var jsQ1 = player.GetVar("Q1");
var jsQ2 = player.GetVar("Q2");
var jsQ3 = player.GetVar("Q3");
var jsQ4 = player.GetVar("Q4");

player.SetVar("Totals", jsQ1+" "+jsQ2+" "+jsQ3+" "+jsQ4)
