Looking for help - Assigning Points in Storyline for Watching Videos
Hi all!
I am current developing a storyline where the learner has to watch a series of short video clips (30 seconds to 1 min long). I am hoping to be able to gamify it a little bit by giving them "points" each time they watch a video, so they are essentially "collecting" points with each video they watch. In my mind, the points would essentially just show up as a running total at the bottom of the screen and each time they watch one of the videos more points are added, and then at the end a "scorecard" would pop up with their points total.
Any ideas on the simplest way to execute something like this in Storyline?

I would suggest using triggers that add +1 to a counter variable when a video media completes. Include a variable/trigger that only allows 1 point for one video (so someone doesn't play the first video 10 times for 10 points, unless that's ok). Then display the final score on another slide (and set it to lightbox on any slide). I made one just for fun (DEMO). The 2 videos I used are from archive.org and are Public Domain. Reach out if you'd like someone to preview yours. Godspeed on your quest!
