Radio button widget question

I am trying to create an interaction where a user would choose any combination of 3 - 5 options in the Radio widget (I'm starting with 3 and once I get that working will move up to 5), with the result being dependent on which options they chose.  This is in a responsive course, where the user will be on an iPad. I created the 3 variables, but so far haven't been able to "SHOW" anything based on my answers?  I don't think I am updating the variable when I push the button.  Captivate 8

Sorry, but I'm totally confused by your question. Radio buttons interaction (since you are on CP8, I suspect you mean that one?) can have only one choice, and has only one variable attached to it. Only the checkboxes interaction can have multiple choices, and for each choice you need a variable. What did you mean? I blogged recently about the Learning Interactions and the example shows both checkboxes and radiobuttons interactions.

If you have the latest version of the interactions, for the first time you are able to control what is showing up in the interactions. I talked about that in this post:

Thank you for answering, and yes I am talking about checkbox widget.  I created a variable called:  fat, and set it's value to 0.  another one called str, and another called lib, all set to 0.

User comes to the checkbox screen and has three choices,  Fatigue, Strength, and Libido, and the user will choose which of these symptoms they are having and get a different response depending on which of the symptoms they choose, and they can choose all three if they want.  So when user chooses  Fatigue, I have the myVar set to   fat, and on next page I want to show the "Fatigue" response.  I am missing something, and advanced actions and variables aren't my strength either.

The value 0 will never work to empty a variable that is supposed to get the chosen item as value from the checkboxes widget. Did you read that blog post? I explained how to use 'v_null', an empty variable to clear the checkboxes, but you'll have to do that with all the variables. It has no sense to give it a default value at all. You don't have to change the variables, they are changed when the user clicks on the checkbox. You will need an event to trigger a conditional action to check the values of the variables because that interaction is NOT an interactive learning interaction, it has no events, cannot trigger an action.
