Increment value on click

[beanie_star]

Hi there.

I'm using Captivate 8, and created a responsive design project.

Created a slide where there's 5 images and a 'shopping cart' in the top corner.

The user needs to select the 3 images that are the right selection. Each time they select an image, the cart updates with a value (1, 2, or 3) and the image they selected then dims or fades.

I cannot figure out how to set the actions to make this happen.

The images had to be buttons in order to assign actions to them.

What buttons do I create an action on and what action settings need to appear to have these multiple things occur?

Create a user variable v_counter that you can display in a text container on the cart. Set its default value to 0. For the correct shape button (I suppose those are shapes filled with images that are used as buttons?) you can create a shared action that will increment the counter (not a parameter) and applies an Alpha effect to the button itself or (maybe more to be trusted than effect) replaces the original image button by an identical shape with a faded image (not a button, at the same time you'll avoid they click a second time on the same button).

You don't tell what has to happen with the non-correct images?

This definitely fixed it - the v_counter.

Applying an effect however, whether it be Alpha or brightness does not seem to work. No matter what level I set it to, when I preview it, it flickers but doesn't actually change.

The incorrect images don't have any action.

Thank you for the help!

Effects applied by advanced actions are really a pain, I know!  That is why I suggested another work flow to replace the shape button by an identical shape without button functionality.

Great advice! Thank you for the help.
