Disabled state stopping other states from appearing

Aug 25, 2023

I have created a navigation page and I have set all the buttons which take users to content to 'disabled' as their initial state, as I want them to listen to the audio before clicking ahead. I then want the state of the buttons to change to visited (which will change the colour of the buttons) when the user clicks each of the buttons, so that when they come back to this page it is clear what content they have visited.

Before I added in the disabled state as the initial state this worked fine, but now the visited state isn't working, even when I've set up the trigger 'set state of button 1 to visited when user clicks button 1'. Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

You said,

I wouldn’t expect this to work, because the disabled state means the object will ignore clicks. 

There is a sample that does what you want at this thread:
