Clock with variable keep looping
Dec 11, 2020
Hello,
I built a clock using a 360° dial (Rotatio 360, Start value 0, End value 12, Initial value 0, Step value 1) together with a variable, so when moving the clock arm to each hour, a different slide layers is shown, starting at 6:00. However after visiting all 12 hours (back to 6:00 again), I cannot once more forward to 7:00. So I would need to build in some sort of a "restart" or looping? How would I go about this problem?
Help is much appreciated!

Adjust clock variable to 0 if clock value =12 when clock variable changes.
Hi Walt, thank you for your suggestion, I tried it but it does not seem to work. I can still only dial the clock arm anticlockwise after the first round, but no longer clockwise.
Hi Iris,
I've attached an example that works. I put Walt's trigger in the last layer, but it would not work until I set it to trigger at the end of the layer's timeline, which I set to 0.5 seconds. It also worked with "timeline reaches" but inconsistently when it was less than 0.5 seconds.
One issue with this approach is that once the user gets to 12, they cannot go counterclockwise. That's because 12 is being set back to 0.
Hi David,
Yes, I also tried that also, but still, the clock arm cannot go beyond 6:00 (after a 12 hour round). But it can go counterclockwise, this is what's strange!
Ah, it did the trick when I reduced the timeline to 0,5 seconds indeed! Thanks so much David!
