Hello all!

I am creating a Drag and Drop as part of a knowledge check.  I have three locations and three sources. Each source has one correct drop location. And I have created three custom variables, one for each drop combination.  I am trying to change the value of a variable when a source is dropped on a drop location so I can check those variables upon submission (not auto submitted) to provide the appropriate feedback.

I am trying to do this…

IF a drop is correct, I want to assign that particular drop variable with 1 and if incorrect, assign with 0, via the object action. Drop sources can be re-dropped if necessary, so if a source is dropped them moved to a different drop location, the object action of checking if it is correct and assigning 1 or 0 to the variable should happen again (crossing my fingers that this is possible).

I will have a custom submit button to take care of the submissions so I can accomplish all of the scripting.

I want to give them two chances to get all three correct. IF there is an incorrect choice on the first attempt, I will display some feedback saying wrong, try one more time and NOT move the drop sources at all. I am thinking that this will not be an issue (By that I mean… I assume that I can give them infinite chances, then count the number of submissions, correct?)

On the second attempt if all is correct, I will display feedback that says so, and have a click to continue action. If on the second attempt there are still incorrect choices, then I will show them what was correct with a green highlight, and if incorrect show with a red highlight AND display the correct answer to the right of the incorrect choice.  All of this should not be an issue, again in my head anyway.

My issue is I cannot find where (which system variable and it’s allowed value(s)) to check if each drop is correct/incorrect so I can assign the 1 or 0 to the custom variable that I will check upon submission of the entire slide.

Does any of this make sense and any ideas if it is at all possible?

Thanx for any assistance/ideas you can provide.
