Hi my brilliant friends! I have a final layer not showing. This slide is 5 circles which are clickable to show a new layer. After all the circles are in the "Visited (and invisible)" state, the final layer, telling the learner to scroll down (the interactive is over), should appear. But it's not.
What am I missing here? Probably something obvious.
I know that it looks like that trigger should work, but since each of those buttons already have another trigger moving you to another layer, that doesn't leave an event to activate that trigger.
You might think you could get that trigger to activate on the layers, but I've found depending on the visited state on an object located on a different layer doesn't seem to work. So That doesn't work either.
I believe the best way to make this work, is to define a variable for each layer. You can then set that variable with a trigger, when each layer starts. See below,
Then on each layer, you can check the value of all of the variable to see if all of the layers have been visited, and if they have, show the next layer. See Below.
You can see, I've added a new trigger that checks the variables and shows the new layer if all layers have been visited. I've left your original trigger, which will close the layer, sending you back to the base layer if all layers haven't been visited.
I'm also returning your sample with the changes so you can see how I made it work.

Thanks Dave! I appreciate your ingenious solution! I haven't worked with values and variables yet, and this is a good way to start.
I sure appreciate the direction, thanks!
