How to make penalty points with click boxes in simulations?

Question

Hello.  I want to make an assessment of how well my users know a software system.  As they go through the simulation, the click boxes that are checked correctly the first time will get 1 point. I don't want them to get a point if they choose the wrong area of the simulation instead of the right one. For example, if they should click Submit and do the first time, they get a point.  If they click Close instead, they get no point and the simulation moves on.  The only way I can think to do this is through Advanced Actions with conditional scripting, but even then, I'm not sure exactly how to compose the script.  Anyone have ideas of a way to do it with or without scripting?

I answered in the other thread as well, until I did see that it was a double posting. It is too late now to delete one of the answers, since you were talking about Advanced Actions, it would have fit better in the other thread.

This was my answer:

You are not really talking about penalty points at all if I read the quesiton correctly: 1 point for a first time correct click, 0 point for wrong click. Easiest way:

reduce number of attempts to 1, which you can do before doing the recording
give 1 point to the click box
set both actions Success and Last Attempt to 'Go to Next Slide'
