Variable help
I have this slide that I am trying to allow people to make their choices and I would love for it to reset after the pop up response so they can make a different choice, but I can't seem to get it to ...
I suggest you turn this into a Freeform multiple-response question. That would let you set the number of attempts and use the built-in Try Again features.
Here's more info about Freeforms: Storyline 360: Converting an Existing Slide to a Freeform Interaction | Articulate - Community
Very cool, Judy and Nathan! I am selecting Judy's as the solution I am using, but I did personally want to learn more about using variables in the process so you both did me a solid!
Hi, SarahCooper-b98 : I thought of a way to really simply that slide.
- Use one feedback layer (since the text and audio are basically the same on your Correct and Incorrect slides).
- The Submit buttons shows the layer, and other actions are triggered there.
- Indicate whether the user answered correctly or not by changing the state of an object.
- That state change is based on "None" equals Selected and the other choices do not equal Selected. ("= Normal" isn't a good condition, because all the built-in states are based on Normal.) This means you don't need variables to track the answer.
- A T/F variable is used to track that the user finished the slide. That's used in a condition so the Next button won't be disabled if the user returns to the slide.
- BTW, you wouldn't need a trigger to change an object to Selected. That happens automatically. However, I deleted that state from the Submit button, because it's not necessary.
See for yourself how this works in the attached file.
I will definitely check that out. It's so cool to get direct help.
