Showing the Next button when all boxes are set to visited

Hm, I might be missing something but I tried your file and it works for me.

Hi Michael,

When you have visited your last box and click the exit button to return to the 'Activities explained' layer do not move your mouse. When you are taken back to the 'Activities explained' layer the next button is not showing. If you then move your mouse over one of any of the boxes the next arrow will appear.

Does this make sense?

Thanks for looking

Claire

I seem to be having a similar issue.  I have five objects/tabs the learner needs to view prior to seeing and clicking the next button. I have the triggers set-up like Claire, but it will not appear.  I got it to appear once but it goes away after they view the fifth tab/object.

I am unable to share my file.  But have a screen shot of my triggers.  Hoping someone can help.  I'm on 2 hours of trying to fix this small issue for a very important internal project.

Thank you!

I would try changing the trigger to "Change the state of Next WHEN (something actually happens) IF the state of tab 1, etc."

"When state of XXX" isn't an event, and triggers don't always notice when a state changes. If they have an event to listen for, they always seem to notice, and can check for conditions.

Hi Walt.  I'm not sure I understand. 

Put a trigger like this on each tab:

They are not layers.  Will your suggestion still work?

Hi Melissa! It would be helpful to see your file. If you cannot share here in the forums, perhaps you could share privately here so that we could take a look.

That was just a sample to explain the concept. Whatever you have happening when the user clicks the tabs will work. The change state trigger is the one that I think might help solve your problem.

I wish I could.  I cannot share; the content is sensitive.  I've been trying to figure this out for about 6 hours.  I'm very rusty at this software.  Here is an additional screen capture of my triggers

I am trying to fix an issue that has come up when we have put the class in a test environment.  It is not my work product and I am very green at this software.  I'm checking to see if I can just have the next button appear right away (via my boss).  Right now, there is no next button and learners cannot view the rest of the class (which is a big problem).

Here is a sample of using variables that does exactly what you want to do. Look at the Mixed Navigation. The user must visit all 4 segments (in any order) before they are allowed to continue.

The only thing different is that I use a custom NEXT button (Text Box 5). It is hidden when they start, and becomes normal after all 4 segments have been visited.

In the Restricted Navigation, they must visit the 4 segments in order before advancing, and in the Free Navigation, they may advance at any time.  I think you want to concentrate on the triggers in the Mixed (any order, must visit all) Navigation.

Hi Melissa!

I'm attaching an example that will hopefully assist. I've used slides instead of layers as that looks to be your set-up. 

I am so embarrassed, I don't even know how to view this file.  :(

Hi Melissa

Leslie's file is a storyline source file. So once you have downloaded it > right click and open in SL2 or double click to open in SL2.

Hope that helps

Hi Melissa!

Were you able to get the file opened. Looks like Wendy popped in to assist and I was going to mention that depending on browser settings, you may want to try a different browser.

Hi Leslie and Wendy.  I was out of pocket the last few days.  I was able to open it now and am going to see if I can recreate in my file.  I had not tried the true approach.  I see that each time it goes back to the main page, it is reset to the initial state?  thinking that is important. 

how do I figure out/label conditions?  my selections are a long list.  None of them match the table names or shapes.

Hi Melissa!

Are you asking about the variables? This tutorial should assist.

I'm trying to determine how I connect the viewing of the page to the variable.  Just like your file, there are five tabs (rectangles) that need to be clicked.  I created the variables as instructed but it is still not working.  I set it to reset everytime viewed... I'm in way over my head here. 

No worries Melissa!

So, in my example:

1. I set up T/F variable for each Tab - default of False

2. There are triggers on each slide that the tab navigates to that will adjust the variable to True

3. The next button shows as normal ONLY when all of those variables are true - meaning all the tabs have been visited.

You can see all of this in the project file.

Leslie.  Cannot thank you enough!  I got it to work.  I really appreciate it.

So happy to hear it Melissa and thanks for coming back to let us know.
