Timer question

Post by SteveMann »

I've been away too long. I feel like a newbie all over again.

I have a series of puzzles for the kids to solve to get a prize. Everything works, the site is pretty simple, but there is nothing to prevent the player from clicking on each guess until they go through to the next puzzle.

If they click on the wrong answer, they get a button to go back and try again.
I was wondering if I could use the timer tool to delay the appearance of the go back and try again button, forcing the player to wait.

Any tips for this would be appreciated.

Also, can I make the browser ignore the back button on the browser?

I you are using a standard form button then you can enable/disable it via events.

I don't think that is possible.

Thanks- that will probably work.

Using a button with a timer event seems to work, but I want the button to be hidden until the timer times out. There is no "on load" event, so how would I hide the button until the timer times out?

You can initially hide the button via the Object manager.
