Cant get layer to show after other layers are selected variable triggers set

Hello, 

I am trying to get a layer to show after 4 other layers have been selected. Slide trigger screen shot included. I've de-selected 'Hide other slide layers' on all layers for Slide layer Properties - screen shot of that attached too. And the 4 required layers have the trigger to turn variable to true when audio completes - I've tried when timeline ends too. 

However, it's not working. Attached is also the problem slide. 

Please help!

there are some problems in your slide

  • first the easy part -> in 3 layers  the wrong variable is set

  • now the more complex part - the trigger on the base layer

state after 3 clicks of the learner

  • 3 button are selected
  • 3 variables are set to true

what happens, if the learner clicks the 4th button:

  • button change to selected
  • base layer script is triggered -> only 3 variables are true -> not ready
  • layer 4 opens
  • the variable for the 4. layer will be true
  • the 4th layer ended and hide

and now nothing happens, because nothing changed in this moment with the 4 buttons

you need a trigger "on any layer closed check if all variables are true" - this is not available

here is a solution with a 5th variable "ready" to simulate this function

  • on start layer true, on end layer false

(incl. stop audio of the base layer)

 

  • and the updated main trigger on the base layer

(incl. initialisation of the 5 variables on start)
