Change state of the caption to visited

Jun 30, 2014

Hi community,

I'm new to Storyline. 

Is it possible that we define trigger for an object or in my case it's the caption to visited after certain period of time?

Thanks,

Hi,

Controlling objects over time is not so obvious.

As you know actions are carried out when a trigger is fired so in your case you want something to change state of an object if I understand you. This will happen when a certain time runs out.

My solution would be to create a thing and place it on your timeline, but offstage.

Shorten its life on the timeline to say 4 seconds then use that to trigger the change state of your object.

Hi Vrak

Bruce is absolutely right. The easiest way to achieve what you wrote is to create an object outside the slide, then add a trigger to change the state of the caption when the timeline of the 'outside slide object' starts. You can place this element wherever you want on the timeline.

Have a look a the example in the attachment
