Simulation Training Clickbox often not working

[ClaudioTwo]

Hi all,

For my Courses I am using Simulation quite often. In the last one I had up to 12 Clickboxes for each Slide (on about 30 slides).

Now I am facing the issue that roughly 1/3 of the them are triggering, another 1/3 is not immediately triggering and another 1/3 is not triggering at all.

Deleting the ones not working and adding new is slowly working, but at least working.

Is this a common issue or anyone knows a trick to filter out the 'bad ones' without the need to test above 300 clickboxes?

I think the new Update wants also improve Simulations, is there anything known that it will tackle this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Claudio

In my personal experience, I found if you had a highlight box on a click box, the clickbox stops functioning. I dont know if there is a way of changing their z order. Currently I have it so that if I need a clickbox and a highlight, I have one slide with narration explaining the highlight, and then it jumps to the next slide with the click box.

It's a terrible work around, so if there is a way of arranging them let me know. And yes sometimes the responsiveness of the clickbox seems to rely on either the timeline length of the slide or the feedback states, depending on how you have things set up.

Hi Stefanie, thanks for the reply. Yes, I also recognized this behavior. In my experience it depends in which order you creat the boxes. Creating the highlight box first and then create the click box, it should be infront in the z.

But in this case they have not even an highlight box on the page.

I now built up the whole file from scratch again, and did a lot of testing during all the steps. While using the original or even bigger size of the clickboxes no bigger issues occured. After resizing (making it smaller) they got a different behavior. So the shown frame of the click box is not ident with the area you have to click on anymore.

Doing a little further testing, it seems that occur, when clickboxes are too close beside eacht other.

Hi @ClaudioTwo @Stefanie28429464r7gr  - Have you tried opening the Timeline and rearranging the order of the elements on the page so that Clickboxes are above the highlight boxes? I think the timeline works like layers, where whatever is at the top of the timeline is at the front of the page and should be accessible. Then you won't have to create things in a specific order, and can rearrange elements after the fact. I hope this works for you!

This has worked for some slides, but not all. A handful of slides in my project seem to refuse to let me rearrange elements in the timeline, and I have no idea why.

Thanks for sharing your video - I've had that behavior happen, too! Sometimes it takes me ages to rearrange them  - it's frustrating, but also good to know I'm not the only one. Maybe I can submit this as a bug or improvement request!

I found a workaround for me that works.

First I tested a lot with clickboxes only, and as long they stayed native, it all worked. Making them smaller and arranging them too close to each other, they lost their responsivness.

Finally I created invisible Buttons instead. The widht can simply be adjusted with handles, for the height I changed the font-size. The font colour is transparent.

They respond perfectly. Only downside, they do not have feedback states, but for my purpose they are not needed anyway.

That's some creative troubleshooting - amazing job thinking outside the box! And thanks for sharing your fix. I'll keep that in mind if I ever create something with lots of clickable items! Thanks.
