However, I found that doing this was near impossible and very time consuming. I managed to code one 'trigger' word, but found that the user would have to type in the exact word and spelling for it to trigger correctly, this may cause users to get stuck on that certain part. So I decided to change my tactic and instead use buttons.
Although buttons are not as effective, they are 100% more reliable. Users now choose their path by selecting the option they want. Below is a picture of my buttons in action:
Even though I would have liked to have stuck with my original plans it would have taken a lot of time (pushing me behind schedule) and also would have also jeopardised the reliability of my project. I am happy with my overall decision to change this part of my project, and I feel the design change doesn't compromise the project too much.
