Exit Animation help
Jan 17, 2023
Hello everyone! I'm currently building a course where the user has to interact with a slide element before the "next" button appears. This action work flawlessly, however I would like to place exit animations on the slide elements so they fade out when the next button is clicked. I know I can do this by using the "pause timeline" trigger, but by doing this, the user can progress by just interacting with the previous object (it uses the "pause timeline" trigger paired with a checkbox). I wasn't sure if there was a way to prevent the exit animations from starting when the timeline ends rather than when the next button is clicked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A common approach some use is to create an "exit" layer. This layer contains all of the elements on the base, but with shortened lifespan on the timeline. The layer also contains a trigger to exit when the timeline ends. You next Button has just a trigger to show this Exit Layer.
This works well, but if you are doing this to a lot of slides, then you have to decide is the juice worth the squeeze, since you now have multiple items to keep up with when making course edits, etc.
That did the trick! Thanks!
