Variable Question

Melissa Cline-Douthitt

I am developing a card-sort Storyline interaction in which users first sort a series of statements into an Agree, Neutral, or Disagree pile (with no right or wrong answers). After that is completed, they will, then, think more granularly about what they have selected by placing each card on a .5 to 5 scale/triangle grid. I have both of those slides set up, but how can I get the cards to show up on the .5 to 5 slide in their respective three categories? Any suggestions are appreciated!

You can achieve that by using variables and states to track where each card was dropped on the first slide, and then reusing those variables to control the card visibility on the second slide. For example, assign a variable (like Card1State) that changes to “Agree,” “Neutral,” or “Disagree” depending on which drop zone the user selects. Then, on your second slide, create three sets of cards—one for each category—and set their initial states to hidden. Use Slide Triggers such as “Change state of Card1 to Normal when timeline starts if Card1State = Agree” to make them appear only in their assigned group. This way, Storyline knows exactly which cards belong to which category, and you can then apply your 0.5–5 scale interaction on top of that logic. It takes a bit of setup, but once your variables and triggers are consistent, it works smoothly between slides.
