I have got that sorted - and it works on other slides. This slide, though, has them selecting an object to go to another slide, return, select a second object to go to second slide, return, select a third object to go to a third slide and then return. I want the Next (and Previous) button to be displayed only after selecting /visiting all 3 objects/slides.
I have changed the state of Next to Normal when the timeline starts if variable 1 == 1 And variable 2 == 1 and Variable 3 == 1. But, no Next appears
I have, though, 3 triggers where I change the state of Prev to Normal if Variable 1 == 1 AND Variable 2 == 1 And Variable 3 == 1. Prev displays at least in Slide Preview. I haven't check Sceen Preview.
So, after playing around with the slide, I still can't display Next and Prev when I Preview the Scene, although they do appear when I just Preview the Slide. Any ideas?
The Slide, it's Properties and Triggers are shown in the attached Word document below.
Many thanks for helping out. I thought I had it all going well the other day.
The 3 buttons go to slides. So, they click 1 to go to slide 1 and return, click 2 to go to slide 2 and return, click 3 to go to slide 3 and return when Next and Prev appear.
OK...knowing you are leaving and returning to the slide change your variable triggers to
when timeline starts instead of when variable changes and see if that works. If not, you can use the grey add attachment button at the bottom of the post to upload the file.
see updated file attached. You only need one trigger to execute the next/prev button to normal as long as the three conditions are met when the timeline starts so I deleted the three triggers you had and replaced with this one for the Next button and same for the previous button.
Well, in another project I am still having trouble with Next showing after all 8 objects have been selected. Selecting an object shows a layer. Once all ojects and layers have been visited Next should appear. So, I have 8 varibles that work, 8 layers, 8 objects, a slider and a trigger that is meant to change the state of Next to Normal.
the timeline isn't restarting on slide 1.2 once all the layers have been visited so this trigger is not going to work
I'm finding it hard to find the sweet spot of the icons to get the layers to show, but the add +1 to the variable trigger is below the show layer so it isn't executing when the user clicks they go to the layer and the variable doesn't change so the order needs to be changed.
Also, is there a reason why the slider goes 1 to 24 instead of just 1 to 8?
See attached - I've updated your file to move the Next button trigger to the final Supply layer, changed the steps in the slider 1 to 8, changed the slider to 'when learner releases' and the order of the adjust variable triggers on the base layer - it appears to be working as expected now.
I wondered about the layers making a mess of the Next button thingy. So, the layers hid the Change state of the next button trigger. I will move this trigger to Supply.
I thought 1 - 24 would be a bit smoother but I like what you did so I will make that change too.
Gosh. The same old problem. Thought I had it sorted. Nope.
I have a slide with 4 objects. You have to select each object to go to the slide they represent. Once you have been to all 4 slides and returned to the initial slide, I want the Bee shape, which is my Next button, to operate.
So, I have got the Bee to change state to Hidden when the timeline starts and then change state to Normal when the timeline starts if all 4 variables (AND) are greater or equal to 1. See attached (couldn't paste for some reason).
Should the slide property be Auto, resumed initial or saved?
So, I have got the Bee to change state to Hidden when the timeline starts and then change state to Normal when the timeline starts if all 4 variables (AND) are greater or equal to 1
What is the issue? The user can't progress? Can you share the .story file. When you say 'you have got' do you mean that's how you've programmed it but it's not working or it's changing to Normal but can't click it.

Thanks Matthew (again).

I have tried the When revisiting.
What else?
I have changed the state of Next to Normal when the timeline starts if variable 1 == 1 And variable 2 == 1 and Variable 3 == 1.
But, no Next appears
I have, though, 3 triggers where I change the state of Prev to Normal if Variable 1 == 1 AND Variable 2 == 1 And Variable 3 == 1.
Prev displays at least in Slide Preview. I haven't check Sceen Preview.
good idea.
ref look good
Hi Matthew
Thanks for that. I will do that in the morning (now 10.20 pm NZ time).
Many thanks

The Slide, it's Properties and Triggers are shown in the attached Word document below.
Hi Mark
are the three buttons going to layers, other slides or just showing popups on screen. If you can share the file it might be easier to help you.
Hi Wendy
Many thanks for helping out. I thought I had it all going well the other day.
The 3 buttons go to slides. So, they click 1 to go to slide 1 and return, click 2 to go to slide 2 and return, click 3 to go to slide 3 and return when Next and Prev appear.
What is the best way to share the story?
OK...knowing you are leaving and returning to the slide change your variable triggers to
when timeline starts instead of when variable changes and see if that works. If not, you can use the grey add attachment button at the bottom of the post to upload the file.
Hi. I am not sure exctly what you mean. Maybe I have made this all too complicated.
Thanks again.
Hi Mark
see updated file attached. You only need one trigger to execute the next/prev button to normal as long as the three conditions are met when the timeline starts so I deleted the three triggers you had and replaced with this one for the Next button and same for the previous button.
Hope I've understood what you wanted to do.
Got it. Many thanks.

It works!
Many thanks, Wendy. Talk soon, again, ...
Kia ora
Excellent - glad that helped Mark :-)
Actually, if the learner does not select the supply layer at the end then Next won't show. So, I have to copy and past the trigger across all layers?
True - unless it is mandatory that they do slide all layers
I've put the trigger on all 8 layers.
Many thanks.
to be sure...to be sure :-)
Hi Wendy
Just reviewed this conversation to update the project and fix Next (again).
Many thanks

So are you saying the Next button changes to normal as per your conditions but you can't progress?
Hi Wendy
I am not using the Next button.
I am using a square, over an image on a layout, as a way to go to a slide.
Regards
Mark
What is the issue? The user can't progress? Can you share the .story file. When you say 'you have got' do you mean that's how you've programmed it but it's not working or it's changing to Normal but can't click it.
