I am working on a project with several scenes in it, and somewhere I managed to get trigger happy. I have managed to link something in Scene 6 to something in Scene 10. I have gone through the project slide by slide, but I can't seem to locate the trigger that is connecting these two scenes. It is a simulation, and there are LOADS of layers for some of the slides.
Is there a search or a faster way to locate a trigger that is pointing to a specific scene?
Hi, Steve -- Unfortunately, I am not aware of a way for you to search within the SL2 trigger panel. If you would like to share your .story file and a few more details about what you are searching for, perhaps members of the community would be able to check it out from a fresh perspective, and help you locate the rogue trigger! :)
I'm getting ready to send it out to the testers, so here's to hoping that either:
A - they find it and document it... fingers crossed. I'm an optimist :)
or B - I stumble across it sometime.
It isn't a REAL show stopper since I've gone through it many times trying all of the random things that people may click, and I still haven't hit it. I would just like to be able to place a clean and labeled development file in the course folder.
Sure thing, Steve, and I hope you are able to locate the root of the issue. And as for search capability, if you would like to share your thoughts or suggestions with our Product Development Team, you are welcome to do so using this form. Best of luck with your project! :)
Go to STORY VIEW and select 6 scenario #1. The live triggers from it should be shown in red. Point at the one leading to 10 #2, and hold a moment. It will usually give you a tool tip that shows the text of the trigger. That may give you a starting place for your search.
Thanks for the suggestion Walt. I tried that, but no tips come up. I am unable to select the links that connect the two scenes. I tried hovering, clicking, and holding the mouse button down.
Select the originating slide by clicking on it. Then just hover over the link without moving. Usually works, but may take a try or two, and may take a second or two.
So that did it. I am uploading an image of how it looks. It may sound silly, but I had only ever viewed my project with the scenes collapsed. I would go through the development in scene view. The trick was opening the scene and looking at it in Story View. Thanks for your help!

Here is what I see when I try to select the links or hover over them for an extended period of time.

Click on slide, hover over link without clicking
Hallelujah!!

Not sure why the image didn't come through with this post.
Hi, Steve -- Thanks for the update, Steve, and I am happy to see that Walt was able to assist you here. :)
Glad it worked for you.
I still say it would be nice if there was a way to search, read, print, save, and just in general manage triggers.
