I searched for an answer for my query on these forums, but I am not able get one (perhaps I am not using the right keywords).
My query is simple. I have created a custom question (haven't used quiz), where the user has to select one of the 3 radio buttons. Now, once the user clicks one button, I want to disable other two.
I know that I can do it by creating two trigger events for each button:
Trigger 1: Disable Button 1 when Button 2 is selected.
Trigger 2: Disable Button 3 when Button 2 is selected.
I have atleast 30 slides like this. So, I want to know if I can get that result in one event? That is, "Disable Button 1 and 3, if Button 2 is selected.".
As far as I know, you can only apply a trigger action to ONE object at a time. You can set up a trigger that disables Button 1 if State of Any Button 2, Button 3 is selected; but you can't have ONE trigger that disables Button 1 AND Button 2 if Button 3 is selected.
I may have misunderstood your original question. To me it sounded like you wanted to have one trigger that turns off two buttons. What you described is turning off one button based on the states of the other two, of course that is possible. Anyway, good that you figured out a solution that works for you.

Hey Michael,
I was fiddling around with these actions while I waited for the reply and I figured out the solution.
This is what I did in the Trigger Wizard:
Action: Change State of
On Object: Button 1
To State: Disabled
When: State (selected from drop down list)
On: Any of (selected from drop down list)
When we select "Any of", we get a list of all the objects on the slide. Here I chose Button 2 and Button 3.
Again from the drop down lists, I selected Are: and Selected.
This disabled the Button 1 when Button 2 OR Button 3 is selected.
Honestly, I have just spent 4 days on Storyline and I am addicted to it. It is simply amazing!
