I'm currently creating a branched case scenario, and I need to have a layer that pops up after the user selects all three options on the screenshot attached below. After each option, the user is given another button to return to this screen. I want the layer to pop up after they go through all three scenario options completely. Is this possible with triggers? I can't seem to figure out the variable. Any help would be appreciated!
There are probably a couple of ways to do this but without seeing how your file is setup it's a bit hard.
When the user clicks each option what happens - do they go to a layer or another slide or is there a popup box? If you can share the .story file someone will be able to help you.
To answer your question, when the user clicks on the options (buttons), they go to another slide. I would like the layer on the "contacting the neighbors" slide to pop up once the user has visited every slide for the three options (not including the restart buttons) and then return to the main "contacting the neighbors" slide. I have attached the storyline file down below. Any help is appreciated! I often don't utilize the advanced features of Articulate Storyline, so this is brand new to me.
These are the variables I have created and I'm trying to run through your project....each time I click one of the buttons from the main slide to go to a scenario it just flashes and returns to the main slide...see this peek video of your file before I worked on it. I'm looking now to see why that is happening - was it happening for you also?
The triggers to hide the next and prev buttons can be removed and you can use the slide properties to deselect the next / previous options
Ok found the culprit - one of your triggers on many of the slides was to jump back when timeline starts instead of when user clicks the return to scenario button so I have updated all those. I haven't run through the scenarios but let me know if the attached file works for you
You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for catching that. That was a 100% mistake and had no idea what was going on. Also, many times thanks for helping me with the popup. This is exactly what I wanted it to do!
