I have added a player trigger so that when you get to the slide, the next button won't appear until all hotspots have been clicked on.
I use Storyline 360 - I originally started using the Modern Player and then changed it back to Classic Player. Now the delay in showing the Next button trigger doesn't work.
the next button delay trigger where is that - I can see that it is changing from disabled to normal around 5 seconds but I'm not seeing the trigger on the slide or layers or slide master?
The next button delay is done through the player settings. That's the only way I've delayed the next button through the whole presentation. I've attached a snapshot of how.
Hi there, LaShon! Thanks for sharing your file and settings. I took a quick Peek of what I saw when previewing your project using the Classic player.
I noticed that the Next button stayed visibly disabled until the timeline of the slide ended at 5 seconds. Once it had changed to Normal, the trigger to jump to the next slide didn't fire unless all of the hotspot variables were true.
Would you like to change the Next button to Hidden until the timeline ends? You could add two more triggers for this effect:
Change the state of the Next button to Hidden when the timeline starts (if any of the variables are false).
Change the state of the Next button to Normal when the timeline ends.
Hi, I am having a similar problem with actions that display the next button when their status is changed from normal to visited. Is there a way I can view the code that shows if the triggers fired.
Hi John! Usually, if the end result that should be happening doesn't happen when you perform the triggered action, that's an indication that the trigger isn't working.
What is your current trigger setup to show the Next button? If you can share a screenshot of the trigger panel, that would be helpful!

Hi LaShon
how are you letting SL know all the Hotspots have been clicked or are you using shapes?
Can you share the slide so someone can try and help you
Hi Wendy, I'm using variables. I've attached the presentation - slides 7-10.

Hi Crystal, thank you for taking a look. That's pretty much what I'm trying to do. I'll get your suggestion a go.

OMG, thank you! I'm relatively new to all of this and was pulling my hair out, what little I have left.
