Hi. I need your help. My frustration is devouring me. Here are the scenarios and problems:
I am creating a game where learners have to answer questions in order for them to remove hurdles on the road to get to the finish line. There are 15 questions and the game has 5 stages. By the way, i created one question per slide. This means 15 slides for 15 questions. This means there are 3 questions each stage. I have landing pages where learners can only go to if they reached 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 CORRECT answers. In this case, i have 5 landing pages (LP) where I customized congratulatory captions, number of points, and badges. A learner just continues answering questions until he/she reaches the required number of scores for certain ranks (3-Rank 1; 6-Rank 2; 9-Rank-3...). If he/she reaches the required score, he'/she goes to the corresponding landing page to see congratulatory caption, see the avatar running on the road to reach another hurdle, etc.
Problems:
1.When that learner is on the landing page, how will he/she go to the next question. Let us say, on question 3 (which is slide 3) she earns 3 points from correctly answering questions 1,2, and 3. So she goes to the LP. How will I let the learner go to slide 4? I cannot just simply say Jump to slide 4 as an action to a button since learners have different pace. What if another learner only got 3 points for answering the 7th question. The button is Jump to Slide 4 (question 4). This brings both learners to the same question.
2. I have conditional actions that say if v_points is equal to 3, jump to landing page 3; if v_points is equal to 6, jump to landing page 6; if v_points is equal to 9, jump to landing page 9; until 15. Let us say, i got 3 points on slide 3 (question 3) so i go to LP 3 then I have to go to the next question (my first problem). Then let us say i am able to go to the next question which is question 4 (slide 4), my score is still 3. this brings me AGAIN to LP 3. What if my score is 3 all throughout since i dont get the correct answer of the succeeding twelve more questions? This makes me go to 3 LP multiple times.
THIS IS CRAZY. I really can't do it. Any help, PLEASE?

Did you try to lay out a logical navigation plan like a flow chart? That would be my first step. Just one tip: I would never use 5 landing pages but only one, will make the navigation mess a lot easier. You can perfectly change the layout of that unique landing page based on the obtained result.
Lot of information is lacking in your question: which version do you use? You talk about 'points', which type of variable are you using: a quizzing system variable (cpQuizInfoPointsscored) or a user variable? Why do you use quiz slides, do you have to transfer the score to a LMS? Quiz slides have very strict rules which you have to respect, whereas with custom question slides you have total control.
There are several games described on my blog, but I never use question slides. Here is one link:

What is your skills level with advanced/shared actions and variables?

I am using Captivate 9. I used a user variable for points. I am not using quiz slides. So, what am I gonna do?

Please, answer all my questions. How did you create the questions, since you now tell that you are not using quiz slides. It is all so vague that I doubt anyone can help you out.

I used a user variable for correct and incorrect answers. When they click the submit button which I also created using shape, one point will be added to the points if the answer is correct; no point if it is correct.

Did you create a flow chart? What is your skill with advanced actions and variables? You give too little information, I have to give up.
