I'm using state changes on an object (going from normal to selected once clicked). Once the state changes to selected, I do not want the user to have the option to select the object again and change the state. Is there a way to disable a state changes once a specified state is achieved?
Create a Disabled state that looks like the Selected (you could duplicate the Selected state and rename it to Disabled). Then add a trigger to change the state of this object to Disabled when user clicks the object.
Hi there, Helena! The visited state is how an object appears after it has been clicked. It's useful when you want to provide learners with a visual indicator of the objects they've already clicked. If the visited state exists for an object, it'll automatically display after learners click it. In other words, you don't need to create a trigger to invoke a visited state.
Do you want the object to change back to the normal state if your user clicks it again?
I was suggesting using the Visited state because the author doesn't want the state to change if the person re-selects the object. At least that is how I understood the question.

That works! Thank you.
Here is some more info on the built-in object states.
How about creating a visited state? Once the user clicks on the object, it doesn't change back to the normal state.
