Question

what system variable to display points?

Hi

I am using the systemvariable cpQuizInfoPointsscored in a text object to display the score.
I am using buttons across the project and set the reporting to add to quizz and add to total.
At the end of my course its a button to take the course again if the user did not get all the points.
If I go through the course and not answering all the questions. Click the try again button and take the questions I skipped the first time. The score gets set to 0 and starts over? Any idea what this is.

Am I using the wrong variable?

    Welcome to the forum!

    First tip: please mention the exact version of Captivate which you are using. The full version number is required, which you can find under the option 'About Captivate', either in the Help menu (Windows) or in the Captivate menu.

    Due to the system variable name you are using it is not version 12 (happy about that). 

    You don't explain how you triggered a new attempt on quiz level? Normally that happens by setting the Quiz attempts in the Quiz Preferences and providing the Retake button. More information:

    That is part of my basic Quiz course.

    You are using the correct system variable but a new attempt means that all answers are reset, not only the wrongly answered ones.  Here is another link:

    Hi And thank you. Although I have been a user of this forum for many years. And captivate since it was macromedia, almost 🙂 New job, new adobe account.

    Im not using quizz modul. I have single buttons that generate points. 
    .11.8.2 version

    New attemt is just a button at the end that show up if the points are below 7. If its 7 the button do not show up. Simple else/if script. The button only takes the user to the first slide again. (Go to slide...) When answering the question that I skipped. It reset the count to 0. Doesnt make sense.

    You probably don't know about the Advanced Interaction panel (F9)? It shows the Total score and if you included the scores of the buttons in that score they will show there as well. Here is a link to my blog post about this very useful panel which many people ignore (and was taken out of version 12):

    You can add a score slide once you have at least one score object, and use all features of that score slide. That would be a lot easier than your present workflow. It must have either some logical bugs or missing some advanced actions.
