Animate lid opening

Is there a way to animate the opening of a lid of something, like a box in Storyline? (see attached image).  Don't need the arrow. Thanks

  • Hello Bill,

    Take a look at this story file. I turned the lid of the box into a dial. It also has a button that can open or close the lid by adjusting the dial variable (BoxLid).

  • Russell, appreciate your response - I will investigate further as I need for it to open without the interaction of the user (i.e. at a specific point in the timeline)

      Hello Bill,

      Take a look at the attached project. When the Open variable is set to true, the box will open. When you switch it to False, it will close.

      In the project, there is a trigger to change the Open variable to True when the timeline reaches 5 seconds. The lid will open.

      There is another trigger to change the Open variable to False when the timeline reaches 10 seconds. The lid will close.
