Question

Quizzing and advanced actions

I have created a project the idea is a user clicks on a button to then jump to the next slide based on that previous decision. There is a cost associated to each decision so I would like a running total to be generated as they progress through the project. I have enabled the button to appear in the quiz and then added a point score which seems to create an end score of money spent.

At the end of the exercise I have then inserted a couple of question slides and ideally what I was wanting was for when a correct value is selected a negative score be taken off the overall quiz total score (i.e. so they get a bit a bonus for getting the questions right.)

I was wondering if it would be possible to do this using an advanced action some how. Can any one offer any advice?

Thanks!

        I'm unclear on the project design as well - are you building a branched activity, or a simple straight line project that simply asks the learner to select from a set of possible decisions on each slide?

        Does the slide with the buttons have to be a quiz slide, or do you just want the buttons to add to a total quiz score (and what is your score based on?)

        The way it appears, it looks like you want to show the total spent, but is this to be deducted from a pre-set total amount of funds available, or is it simply adding to a total of charges accumulated regardless of the amount available? This decision determines the structure of your variable and the action you want to use to affect it.

        Without a clearer understanding of the objective and the rubric, it's unclear what type of action would get your learner the feedback you want here.

    I am not sure to understand correctly your question (not a native English speaker here). This is what I understand:

    • the value of cpQuizInfoPointsscored is obtained with a mixture of scored objects (buttons) and quiz slides
    • when the score of the quiz slides is positive, you want to increase the total score

    Is that correct? Do you have to transfer the score to a LMS (essential detail) and on which version are you?

    Quizzing system variables are read only. The only way to add a score based on a condition, without using JS, is the approach I proposed in this old blog post:

    Report Custom Questions - part 2 - Captivate blog

    The idea is to have two buttons, hidden in output. One of the buttons has a score attached to it, the other not. Based on the condition you show the appropriate button.

    If you don't have to transfer the score to a LMS, have a look at this blog post:
