Changing text when using triggers.

Jun 21, 2017

By AVERY MCNEIL

Hello E-Learning Family,

Please forgive the basic question.

I am trying to change text when an action is performed by the user.

For example, I desire to change text by having the text change to a certain color when the user moves a slider.

Could someone - anyone help me with this?

Hey Avery!

I attached a quick example of using custom states for this as Leslie had suggested.

Let us know if you have questions!

Ali,

Thank you for text/color/slider file as this is exactly what I am trying to do. I know how to change the state of objects like character expression etc. but I was having some challenges with changing the state of words (texts) specifically highlighting each word (or multiple words) when the user moves the slider. As I looked at your example, I noticed there were variable adjustments. I was on the right track but needed more guidance.

I will let you know how I make out.

Thanks again.

Avery
