Triggers & Variables Not Working with Users on Macs
Hi William,
You've documented the issue extremely well here. Makes it all the more perplexing.
But hey, I was building a brand-new quiz template from scratch recently and was stunned to find a text block from one of my colleague's courses from 2 years ago overlaying one of the correct/incorrect feedback masters! The quiz doesn't publish with the overlay, but it tells me this subscription software is constantly in Beta.
My thoughts:
- Maybe you have one, but if not, you have a strong business case for a Mac test computer.
- I have done similar incrementing variables in the past and it's a nice, efficient solution. But I have seen aberrant results similar to this one problematic course you have. So much depends on object and trigger sequencing and maybe some of my users were double-clicking the control or the trigger was not firing at precisely the right time or not at all.
In any case, I prefer using a True/False condition for multiple locked lessons like your design. It means more variables to maintain, but it is easier to troubleshoot.
Good luck on finding a solution. I feel your pain.

I had that thought, but (incoming irony/sarcasm) instead spent 18 business hours trying to solve for the existing problem. Probably would have only taken me 1 business hour to make the trigger/variable switch. 😅
I'm going to do that - the real fun will be if the problem persists haha
