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
