Assistant with trigger - revealing next button
Apr 30, 2021
Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a SCORM package using Articulate Storyline 360.
What happens is, the text on the left-hand side appears paragraph by paragraph, in accordance to the timeline. No issues here. The next button is automatically disabled at the beginning of the slide.
On the right-hand side, the key pad and 'screen' are animated in, once most of the left-hand text comes in. No issues here.
From here, the user needs to click on all the numbered buttons of the keypad (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0). Each time the user clicks on a number, different information will appear in the above keypad screen via layers. No issues here.
Once the user clicks all buttons, the Next button becomes available to click to proceed. No issues here.
However, the issue I am experiencing the 'Click Next to Continue' bubble. It's programmed to be hidden at the beginning of the slide, which works, but I want it to visually appear once the user has clicked all the numbered buttons.
It sounds silly, but some clients may not notice that the 'Next' button is available in the bottom right-hand corner, so I want the next bubble to appear as a visual indicator queue.
I have attached the slide alone as an Articulate 360 file to this question. If anyone could please assist me with this one, I'd really appreciate it, thank you.

You must be using some sort of trigger to make the Next button visible or enabled. Create a trigger that uses that same action to change the Click Next bubble to Normal state.
Hi Walt,
Yes, to clarify.
Next function (the in-built button in the bottom-right corner, next to the Prev button) has been programmed with a trigger to be disabled at the beginning of the slide. When the participant clicks on all necessary numbered buttons, the Next button becomes available and visible. This works as intended.
The blue Next bubble however, does not function correctly. It has been programmed to be invisible at the beginning of the slide, but what I want to happen, is for the blue bubble to become visible once the participant clicks on all necessary numbered buttons. At this stage, the blue bubble is:
Change state of ClickNext - "Click Next to Continue" to Normal
When the state of all rectangles is Visited
The bubble is hidden away using this trigger:
Change state of ClickNext - "Click Next to Continue" to Hidden
When the timeline starts on ClickNext
This is the exact same trigger-style as the in-built next button, but it is unfortunately not working.
Any advice?
Okay, it seems... to work now.
I deleted the graphic plus its corresponding triggers, then I re-added them, followed the exact same steps as I did before, and now it's working.
As much as I love Articulate, sometimes it makes no sense to me, ha ha.
