Quiz issue: advancing to next quiz question after failing at MCQ with Advanced Answer

[3dward66]

I've done some searching here but have not found the answer.

I have a multiple choice question with the Advanced Answer option selected and a feedback message showing for incorrect answers.

I have the number of attempts at 2. I have de-selected the Retry message (as that is what the feedback message is doing). 

So the way I would like it to work would be that after the learner gets the question incorrect the 1st time, they will see the feedback message. When they get the question incorrect the 2nd, they will receive the "Incorrect" feedback and then automatically move to the next question or click "Next" or "Continue" to get to the next question.

I was able to create this effect by doing the following:

I used the technique presented by @Paul_wilson in this video: Adobe Captivate - Create Branch Scenarios Using Advanced Answer Options - YouTube

That technique assumes infinite attempts. In order to advance after the 2nd failed attempt, I created a variable called MaxAttempts. Each time a learner chose the incorrect answer, they would go to the remediation slide and the MaxAttempts variable would increment by one. When the learner clicked Continue on the remediation slide, if MaxAttempts was less then 2, they would return to the quiz question for another attempt. If MaxAttempts was greater than or equal to 2, upon clicking Continue they would be taken to the next question in the quiz.
