Changing button state when layers involved
Jan 11, 2017
Hi there,
I've created a slide with a scenario of an architect meeting her client. The learner clicks on 3 questions to find out more from the client.
I'm having trouble with the "I'm finished meeting my client button". It is supposed to appear as "visible" once all 3 questions are "visited". The problem is that even though I have created triggers for the questions to change state to "visited" when "clicked", they only change temporarily and then become "normal" state once the learner clicks another question.
How do I make my "Ask your client a question" questions "visited" after one click and remain visited even after learners click on the other 2 questions? Hopefully with that fixed the "I'm finished meeting my client" button becomes "visible".
Thanks,
Michelle

Here's the storyline file for the slide.
Hi there Michelle!
You actually don't need triggers to "Change state of rectangle to Visited when user clicks" because Visited is a default state. The rectangle should change to the Visited state when the user clicks it without a trigger.
See if removing those triggers helps any. If not, feel free to share your .story project file here, and we can take a closer look at your set up!
Hi Alyssa,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried removing the triggers you mentioned but the state of the buttons did not go to visited after being clicked. The file is attached.
Thank you!
Hey Michelle. I've attached a very simple mockup that may help. If you're using layers the principle is the same.
Hi again Michelle,
It looks like Michael was able to point you in the right direction here. Please be sure to reach out if you have any further questions!
Thanks Michael.
I understand how your 4 slides are configured. I'm wondering though if there is an easy way to remove the 3 answer layers and make them into their own slides? There is no "cut" option and copy paste didn't work when I tried.

You should be able to visit a layer, and press CTRL-A (select all), followed by CTRL-C (copy).
Then navigate to the new slide and press CTRL-V (paste or velcro). Everything and all the triggers should transfer to the new slide. You will have to go in and make sure the triggers point to the new objects.
Thanks Walt. I will give that a try.
