Storyline Number Variable
I have a project that I am working for 2 teams. We have an area where 1 team should not see content. We are going to skip 3 slides. The other team will have to view the 3 slides and then see the content. I used the number variable to track the group and calling it via trigger to jump to slide xyz if "character variable" 2 was set. It isn't working properly when I am previewing. Any suggestion or tips on what I might be doing wrong?
Without seeing the trigger it's hard to know. However, most likely it needs to be something like:
jump to slide X when timeline of slide starts if var=X
I think duplicating the slide in the scene in preview so I could test easier may have been my issue. Once I took the slide out of the scene and tested the whole project, it worked! Thank you!
You can also put a text box on your slides where you want to see what the variable is set as. It helps when previewing so that you can see is it triggering/changing as you expected. Then remove the text box when you are done and know it works correctly.
Here's an example with T/F variables.
I did something very similar for an assessment I built which was available to two audience types; the conversation is here:
