Software Simulation Assessment: Failure message

Question

Hello All,I hope you can help me figure this out. I created a software simulation- assessment mode. By default, when users click on the wrong button, on each click, Captivate shows a failure message, suggesting users to click on the correct one (e.g: Click the Design button). That's not what I am looking for.What I'd like to happen is to hide the failure message for the first three clicks on the wrong buttons. The failure message should be showing from the fourth click if users keep selecting the wrong button. If users click on the right button at any time, they can move forward.Please let me know if I did not describe the problem clearly.Thanks in advance!

Captivate's feedback captions for interactive objects and quiz questions don't work the way you want by default.

To achieve your goal you would need to use custom Variables and Conditional Advanced Actions.

You'd need to switch off the default feedback captions, insert your own captions onto the slide, and turn off their Visible in Output settings initially so that you can use the Conditional Advanced Action to hide the captions when your user has met the right conditions.

Your Conditional Advanced Action needs to be executed each time the user clicks INCORRECTLY. The first Decision Block in the Conditional Action will increment the value of the custom variable by 1. Then the following Decision Block will check the value of this variable and if it has reached the threshold value you want (e.g. IF variable is greater than or equal to 4) then SHOW the hidden caption.
