Hi,
How do I implement number variable in Lectora?
Example as below:

You've done it wrong, you don't have a button anywhere on the item. Your activity images have an OnShowModVar action. Also what is your end plan? Show a total point score? Show a score per item?
See the screenshot below as to how I would have handled this request.
BananaBTN-dedicatedVariable
- On mouse click: modify _Banana variable set equal to 2.
BananaBTN-oneVariable
- On mouse click: modify _totalHealthyScore variable by adding 2 to the current score.
Please take a look at my examples I posted in a preview response that will show you exactly how to do it - with an image button or transparent button.
@andrew-robertson - I tried it without transparent button. (saw your message later).
Noted Carl.
I added action 'Modify Variable' with Add/Subtract Variable but it isn't doing any action for me.

This is the end result I am trying to achieve - https://veronicab.com.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/articulate_uploads/300-number-variables/story.html
Make your four images buttons or at least transparent buttons. See screenshots below.

Button for healthy options:

Yep. So you'll want to use the BananaBTN-oneVariable solution I provided above.
Lectora doesn't have variable types.
If you assign a number to a variable, it's a number variable. You can use the Actions for numbers (say, "Add 1 to myVariable") and test for values ("If myVariable is less than 2, move the photo off the screen") and it will work.
Note: I am not using actual Action syntax above.
Malvika, you have two buttons for each graphic. Only the top one is triggered by mouse clicks, so the one under it, which modifies _TotalHealthy, never triggers. You can put both actions on a single button, instead of using two buttons.
@andrew-robertson - I have added the suggested actions. There seems to be some miss.
Score is not reflecting in total column, nor it reflects when I click on banana or other elements.

@carlfink - I tried having two actions under one button.

And what happened when you tried it?
It doesn't seem to reflect any count of banana or burger?
File as attached.
I tried this link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEu1HgXhlaQ but not sure about 'Change Content' action.
It doesn't seem to work.
Any thoughts on how can I make this work?

Yes Andrew, it worked for me. Your file became my bible, and helped.
Thank you.
