Question

CP9 Increment at TEB value on Submit.

I'm building a game and I've put two text entry boxes on the slide.  One for each team.  I've changed the Submit button to read Team 1 and Team 2 for each box.  When a team makes a correct answer the moderator will click the teams box and the TEB should go from blank to 10 then a second correct answer 20, etc.  I've put in the action for each teams TEB to increment by 10  but nothing happens when I preview it.  Do I need to do an advanced action instead?

Thank you,

Susan

    Did you use the Success action of the TEB to increment a user variable, that has to be different from the associated variable. How do you set up the Success action?

    Once I created a gaming scoreboard, but would do it much differently when working with the enhanced features of later versions.

    Yes that is what I tried that every time a teams button was clicked by the moderator it would increment the teams score by 10.  Thanks for your example but I'm having a hard time following it.  But then I'm not good at advanced actions.

    Ok I need to move to Belgium and have you force feed this variables and advanced action stuff to me.

    I put in text captions with click boxes over them and had the action be to increment the variable in the text caption by 10.  Now when I click the box I get 10 then when I click again I get 1010 and so forth.  LOL


    You get concatenation! OK here is the workaround: when defining the score variables, set their default value to 0. That way CP will recognize that it is a number, and probably will add numbers.

    BTW I train and teach more online than F2F (which I largely prefer but Belgium is a Captivate desert).

    Another tip: instead of the combination click box + text caption, use a shape button: it can be both a text container (to insert the variable) and an interactive object. You know that I'm a shape button fan.
