Change state of NEXT to normal Nov 15, 2017 By Sam Carter A common slide interaction is to require the learner to click 2 or more objects before the NEXT button state is restored to normal (from disabled). We have to create a trigger on each object to check the visited state of all the required objects and then switch NEXT to normal state. This seems unnecessarily complicated. I suspect there is an easier technique. Sam
Veronica Budnikas Hero over 6 years ago11/15/17 at 9:07 pm (UTC) Hi Sam, You only really need two triggers: 1. To change state of NEXT button to Disabled when timeline starts 2. To change state of NEXT button to Normal when All of [tick relevant objects] are Visited. See the screenshot attached. Hope that helps!
Sam Carter Author over 6 years ago11/15/17 at 9:09 pm (UTC) I will try your proposal again, but I found that if the base layer objects revealed an upper layer, then the compound trigger you show here doesn't work. Sam
Veronica Budnikas Hero Sam Carter over 6 years ago11/15/17 at 9:13 pm (UTC) Hmm, I am not 100% sure what you mean, but I added a layer to show when one of the objects was clicked and it still works fine. See .story attached. next_button.story
