Unable to to make certain variables work
Hello,
I have a problem to setup a certain setting with variables.
In my project i have a "crossing" where you can select 3 different topics to continue. After a topic is finished you get back t...
Hi, Marko,
Based on your description, it sounds like what you did should work. Without seeing the file, it's hard to tell why it doesn't work.
By the way, be careful about using a number variable in situations where a given trigger might execute more than once. For example, a learner could view Topic 1, return to the "crossing" slide, and then click Topic 1 again (either because they suddenly want to review something or just by accident). At that point, the number variable would = 2 even though only 1 topic has been viewed.
Instead, you could use a T/F variable for each topic, with the default value of False. Add a trigger to the last slide of each topic that changes the variable to True. If you do this, then your Continue buttons would have triggers like this:
- Jump to [crossing slide] with the conditions that any of the three topic variables are False. (That would be 3 conditions connected by the OR operator.)
- Jump to [topic 4] with the conditions that all three topic variables are True. (That would be 3 conditions connected by the AND operator.)
