How to not count click on help layer as an attempt in a test mode exercice

Hi all,

I'm making a test mode exercice where the learner will have 3 attempts on each slide to find the correct clickable zone.

I add an instructions layer which is always accessible anytime to learners. My problem is that when I click on the button to display this instructions layer, my click is counted as an attempt which falsifies my counter.

Does anyone have a solution? Probably a variable to not count this click as an attempt but I don't know how to write it.

Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Hi, Maxime!

    I'm glad this worked for you! 

    If you want the info_button to still be available after the first attempt, you can change the layer properties for the Try Again layer, unchecking Hide other slide layers

    Let me know if this works!

  • Hi, Maxime, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨

    Thank you for sharing what you're trying to accomplish!

    I'm looking forward to what our talented community members will suggest for your specific scenario, but here's what I'd recommend:

    • Create a layer for your instructions button (we'll call it Info_button). 
    • On your base layer, add a trigger to show the Info_button layer when the timeline starts.

    • On your Info_button layer, add a trigger to show the Information layer when the button is clicked.
    • For the layer properties, check the option to hide other slide layers in your Info_button layer, but uncheck it in your Information layer.

  • Hi Maria,

    Thank you for your quick response!
    I'll try what you suggest and come back to you asap to let you know if it's working!

  • Hi again Maria,

    Looks like it works perfectly fine, thank you for your help!

    However, I still have an issue, when I click on the wrong area, the 'Try Again' layer shows up but when I close it, the help button isn't displayed anymore. Do you have a fix for this too?

    Thanks again!
