Variable to be automatically incremented in every 7 seconds.
Hi Everyone,
I am fairly new to the world of Storyline variables, and I probably want to run before I learn to walk, but I guess I learn on the edge, so appreciate your help to get over a problem ...
- Insert an object off the slide.
- Give that object a 7-second motion path. (Be sure the path won't end up on the slide.)
- By default, when you add a motion path, the program will add a trigger to move the on the motion path when the timeline starts. Edit that trigger so the the move happens when the event (e.g., a button click) happens.
- Add a trigger that adds 1 to the variable when the motion path completes.
Thank you very much Judy!
Although it's a workaround, it helped me a great deal! I have been using this extensively ever since you suggested it. Just one disadvantage: including a video in your e-learning makes it bigger and loads up slower, so while this works, this is not the best solution.
I think Articulate should include a function to count the time (in seconds or milliseconds) after certain event happened. This would be of great help for many of us, I guess.
Thanks for your suggestion!
Kind regards,
Balazs
