I have attached a basic story that shows what I am trying to do.
In Scene 1 Topics, I have a number (6) of buttons that will take a learner to specific (6) topics. When they return from a topic, the button related to the topic that they just visited should change state to 'Visited' and an image (a Hat) should appear (as a change of state) indicating that they have "earned" a Hat. This works well when previewing the slide/scene 1, but not when I preview the whole project.
When they have earned all 6 "Hats" they will be able to select Next to go to the (final) Congratulations slide. I have used a T/F variable for this when I was using hotspots and it worked. What type of variable will work with buttons?
I have done something similar in the past but for the life of me I can't get this right.
So, I am applying triggers to objects in the Topic slide. Is this possible? I can't see why not.
Is the answer to use variables? If so, what kind of variable? True/False variable?

Without seeing your .story file it's hard to guess what the problem might be. Maybe you can post it here so that we can have a closer look.
Hi Michael

Try changing the slide properties of your menu slide to 'Resume saved state'.
Doh! Too easy. Thanks Michael.
Oh, this helps me, too. Thanks Mark for asking the question, and Michael for supplying the answer!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing Kyada :)
