User notes that they can print and email

Hi all. I built a course earlier this year that contains a "notes" function to allow users to take a moment to reflect and type their thoughts on certain questions. This is used in place of a typica...

This one gets very complicated but it works very well thank you. This is what i turned it into:

 

var exercisenotes12=player.GetVar("tf1"); as a test we are trying to load in a variable information of a true or false button to show yes or no for a moc intake form that we have made. anyone have any ideas?********** trying to get the information of a button that is checked to be translated into something i can stick in to this crazy mess i have created off of this  any takers?

 

var player = GetPlayer();

var useremail=player.GetVar("email");

var subject="New Multimedia Learning Solutions Project Outline";

var usernotes=player.GetVar("notes");

var exercisenotes1=player.GetVar("Ans1");

var exercisenotes2=player.GetVar("Ans2");

var exercisenotes3=player.GetVar("Ans3");

var exercisenotes4=player.GetVar("Ans4");

var exercisenotes5=player.GetVar("Ans5");

var exercisenotes6=player.GetVar("Ans6");

var exercisenotes7=player.GetVar("Ans7");

var exercisenotes8=player.GetVar("Ans8");

var exercisenotes9=player.GetVar("Ans9");

var exercisenotes10=player.GetVar("Ans10");

var exercisenotes11=player.GetVar("Ans11");

var exercisenotes12=player.GetVar("tf1"); as a test we are trying to load in a variable information of a true or false button to show yes or no for a moc intake form that we have made. anyone have any ideas?**********

The easiest solution would be to use a Text variable instead of a True/False variable and use your check box triggers to change the value to "No" or "Yes".

However, if you insist on using a T/F variable, you could do something like the following:

//call the storyline player if you have not already
var player = GetPlayer();

//create a function to get your true-false value, convert it from boolean to text, analyze the value and convert it to yes or no
function myFunction() {
     var trueOrFalse = player.GetVar("tf1").toString();
          if (trueOrFalse == "true") {
               return "YES";
          } else {
               return "No";
          }
};

//run the function and store the value in a variable called userNotes12
var userNotes12 = myFunction();

I'm sure you could shorten this by just evaluating the boolean value rather than converting it to a string but I am not an expert when it comes to working with booleans; I find it easier to just work with strings. :-)
