attaching animation to variables and triggers
Mar 09, 2014

Hi I am trying to create a similar feel to a course that is like Catchphrase (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqb-j1cNPhQ)
The idea i have is to have a board. (attached) when the learner selects a square it is taken to a question, after the learner submits their answer it takes them back to the board. If the answer is right the square animates out and another square can be chosen, if it is wrong the square remains where it can be or another one selected. The reason why I want this to happen is below the squares is an image which I want to be revealed as questions are answered correctly.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

i would add the shapes on the slide, and duplicate them on layers with an exit animation. When you return and a variable is marked correct the layer shows, hides the object on the base layer and shows the exit animation
Thanks - I'm not entirely sure what you mean, I currently have a slide setup with 9 objects (the boxes numbered 1-9), do I understand correctly that I am to create 9 layers on the slide that each represent the objects?
Hi Stuart,
Yup, it sounds like you'll need to have a layer for each element just to play the exit animation and then return to the base layer where the object is hidden and the picture "underneath" is shown. If you're able to share your slide here the community can take a look and help you start to set this up on an object or offer other advice once we see your set up.
Hi there
thanks very much I had a go but need some help, cheers.
I don't suppose if anyone was able to accomplish the milestones?
The only thing I am missing is after clicking on the numbered boxed to take you to a challenge, on obtaining a correct answer and returning to the board I would like the box to animate out. I can't seem to achieve this at the moment.
cheers.
Hi Stuart, I had a look and did number 1 for you, I used variables to make it work
Thanks for that, so the question is if i follow the code through and do that for the other 8 numbers, when I click on #2 and select a right answer, i assume that when I go back to the board both the animation for 1 and 2 will play is that right?
No if you see i set 1 to hidden on the layer, and the layer showing is only if 1 is hidden and variable is equal to true
As long as you resume saved state it will on show the layer once
Here is the slide with number 2 sorted, I have also rearranged the items on the timeline so the question slides are now in order
Great
thanks so much for your help.
