Creating a trigger on one shape is getting added to the rest of the shapes on the slide
May 25, 2015
Hello everyone.
I'm having this problem that I can not seem to figure out on my own and I've tried Googling it and searching here but can't seem to find anyone else having the same issue I am.
I am creating a grid of shapes (rectangles) on a slide in a 2 columns by 5 row grid. I have 10 layers that are supposed to show when clicked on their respective rectangle. The triggers I am adding are a simple "Show Layer [Layer One] when User Clicks [Rectangle One]. However, what is happening is that this trigger is getting added to all ten of the rectangles in the grid. So Rectangle Seven for example is getting the same "Show Layer [Layer One] when User Clicks [Rectangle One]". If I try to change this to "Show Layer [Layer Seven] when User Clicks [Rectangle Seven]" this new trigger now replaces the ones on all of the other rectangles.
I've tried restarting both Storyline and my computer, creating the same array on a new slide, creating new layers, individually creating each rectangle instead of duplicating it and I can't seem to remedy the problem. What is strange is that I have this exact same setup on a different slide and that works fine (albeit in a 3x3 grid) and I've even tried duplicating that slide and the problem still persists.

Without seeing the file this is hard to diagnose my friend.
Did you discover a solution to this issue? I have the exact same problem.

Ryan,
Did you ever get a fix for this? I am having a similar issue with triggers duplicating and cannot figure it out.
Hi Judy, I'm happy to help! First, what version of Storyline are you using?
Can you tell us a bit more about how the triggers are duplicating? If you can provide screenshots or a screen recording of the problem, that would be helpful, too!
