Captivate 9 Drag and Drop

Is there a way to create a customized score as feedback in a drag and drop interaction?

When the user drags the correct objects to the drop target and click submit I want to show the  score obtained by selecting the correct objects.ddcommunityques

    I hope you are aware of the fact that D&D by default doesn't support partial scores, and I suspect that you want to build that score based on the number of correct drag actions? It is possible using the object actions as shown in the step-by-step instructions created by atone_x to fill a user variable with a score, but it will not be reported (with his work flow -  there is a tweaking possibility) to a LMS. Moreover some important details are lacking (sorry, to add that correction):

    • Do not forget to disable Continue Playing project when adding object actions. That is only possible in Captivate 9
    • That score should be displayed not only On Success, but has to be added to both the Success and Failure messages.
    • Which actions you provide for Success, Failure (which is really Last Attempt) is not linked with showing the score, unless you want more than just a text message, in which case you'll have to h; ide custom objects and show them with those actions.

    I would have known answers to more questions before answering. What about the attempts that you want to allow? Do you need to reset the score for another attempt? Did you allow all objects to be dragged to all targets? Are you aware of the new InBuilt States for Drag&Drop objects, maybe you'll want to use those for a more interactive experience of the user if you do not have to report the score? Have a look at: Drag&Drop in 2016 with Captivate 9 - Captivate blog

    Thanks Lilybiri! I merely answered the question at face value as simply as possible without redirecting the user to another blog or service. I apologize if that’s not an acceptable way to assist a fellow Captivate user on this forum.
