Confused on seekbar and trigger
Jun 18, 2020
Hello, I am very new to Storyline. I am working on my first eLearning module for my Masters program and am not sure how to fix a trigger problem (I think) I am having. I am sure there is an easy solution but I am not able to figure it out.
In one of my base layers I have 5 button sets, each of which will show a layer of content which in turn will either show another layer or sets a "layer complete" variable and returns to the base layer. The base layer has a seekbar, no Menu, is set to advance by user and will reset to initial state.
On the base layer, I have a trigger that jumps to another slide if all the layers have been completed (i.e., the variable=true). At this point, I've tried when timeline ends, starts, reaches x seconds, media completes, etc. I've "referenced" the variables to confirm they are all set to true (and they are), but the "when" condition never seems to be met when previewing and it just sits there, as if the timeline/seekbar is stuck or never began. In frustration, I clicked on replay and I received "the target not available message" as if the "when" condition was met, but it started all over again and went into a loop of the "target not available message".
How can I determine what to put for the "when" condition so the slide will jump to its destination?

Use when timeline starts, but you need to set the properties of the slide to reset to initial state on revisit, so the timeline will start again.
Thank you, I'll try that. I don't remember if I've tried that combination yet.
Thank you for the suggestion but it still didn't execute the target slide at the end. The good news is that the replay doesn't endlessly loop now. Is there something else I could try?
You would have to attach it here so someone could look at it.
I'm sorry, I am not sure how to attach the storyline slide, assuming it wouldn't be something like Review. I have an individual license rather than a teams license if that makes a difference in attaching the file.
Thank you for helping me. Through the varying eHeroes tutorials and this forum I learned so many nuances and discovered the way to manage the Slide properties and timeline and solved the problem. Thank you for this forum!
