Still relatively new to Articulate and wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to change the state of an object after viewing an entire scene. Example: The title slide has 5 topics a learner needs to explore - each topic is a button that launches a scene. I would like to link back to this slide at the end of scene and have the button altered to show that scene has been explored while the others remain 'active' and ready to be looked at...??? Thanks in advance.
create 5 T/F variables all default to false one for each scene. On the last slide of scene 1 set a trigger to adjust the scene1 variable to true when the timeline of that slide starts.
back on the title slide set a trigger to change state of button 1 to (custom state complete) when timeline starts on title slide on condition scene1 variable = true. You could have the other buttons in a disabled state if you want the scenes done in order.
So another trigger would be change the state of button 2 to normal when timeline starts on condition scene1 = true.
I might need to dig a little further versus pretending I know how to do all of that but it sounds straight forward(ish). Appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Hi Steven

Repeat for other scenes.
Thanks Wendy,

Happy to rig a sample if you like are you using SL2 or SL360?
I would be eternally grateful! I'm using 360
There is a sample here that does all that:

Thank you!
