Changing states
Hiya,
Im working on a course someone else started who has now left our team and it is a rush to get it ready and Im struggling with one slide and after working on it quite a while yesterday starting to feel it might not be possible to make it work with the way the slide has been done and I thought Id ask for advice.
So my question is, can you change a state of something twice with one click of a button? First to go from hidden to visible and then change colour?
I have a layer where the objects turn from hidden to visible when a button is clicked, but I would like one of the items to also change colour after it has appeared on the screen for few seconds (it is a representation of fire through conduction and a pipe inside a wall appears yellow but would like it to turn from yellow to red to demonstrate it is heating up). The slide 'animations' have been built with triggers.
Best Wishes,
Jonna

Yes, it should be possible, but it depends on how the slide has been set up.
Are you able to share the .story file (or even just the slide in question)? I'm happy to take a look at it.
Hi Matthew,
I've attached the slide in question - the pipe issue is in the conduction layer. Thank you for looking at this :)
Hi Jonna,
No worries at all, happy to help where I can.
Please see the attached version. I've simply duplicated the pipe, made it red and added an animation so it slowly fades over the yellow pipe. Is that the kind of thing you had in mind?
That is exactly what I had in mind - I attempted to add another pipe yesterday but haven't used storyline for a while and given this project suddenly and with all the items and triggers in that layer I was getting all muddeled up.
Thank you - your hep is very much appreciated :)
Yeah, I can understand why that would have been confusing if you haven't used storyline for a while. Hopefully the rest of the project goes smoothly. All the best.
Nice work Matthew - thanks for help Jonna out here!
Yes, I think Santa has definitely got him on the nice list :)
The nice list? Oh goody! Looks like there is a first time for everything!!
