How to Get Failure or Hint Messages to Show for Shortcut/Text Inputs in Simulation?

I recorded a software simulation as an assessment. Some slides require shortcut keys and text input as the correct responses. The number of attempts is limited to 2, but when users click on the screen rather than inputting the shortcut keys or text, the simulation does not recognize those clicks as incorrect attempts; neither the "Failure" nor "Hint" captions trigger, and the simulation does not progress.

How do I get those incorrect clicks to trigger the "Failure" or "Hint" captions?
Can I include them in the quiz as incorrect attempts?

How did you configure Shortcut OR input of text, that isnot clear to me.

Normally for an assessment the input is configured as a scored Text Entry Box on a slide. If they don't enter the correct text expected, the Failure beedback message should pop up. But need to see the setup, a combinatinon like you describe means manual tweaking. What is on the timeline, which interactive object, to which event dd you link the shortcut keys?

In the default setup of Assessment traiining, you don't have a Hint message.

Here are the Actions settings for the click box example of the "Ctrl+C" shortcut. The Actions settings for the Text Entry Box input are configured the same way. (The "Hint" checkbox is not checked in the image, but when it is checked, will not trigger.) The simulation recognizes keyboard input, so when a user presses the keyboard twice with anything but "Ctrl+C" the simulation moves forward and the answer is counted as wrong. How to get the simulation to recognize the clicks (as incorrect) and move the simulation forward?

Here is the timeline: only the background image and click box.

Thank you for your time, Lilybiri!

Is there a reason why you didn't update? Maybe because of the AutoPlay turned off for HTML output even for non-responsive projects?
