Ghost Triggers?

I have included some examples.  In the example, I removed the trigger which changed the button state to Hover when the mouse hovers over it.

Even without the trigger, the state continued to change.

Christopher. It's difficult to get a full grasp on what's happening without seeing your file. But, the first thing I would suggest when you are trying to interact with button states using variables/triggers is to NOT use visited. The visited state provides feedback to the learner that that button has been clicked. Depending on how you set up your revisits (and other things) your visited state is not persistent. 

I would recommend creating a "completed" state (this would be your own custom state). You could make it look exactly like your "visited" state. Then use the "completed" with your vars/triggers. 

Interesting! 

I'll try that.

Thanks!

Hi Christopher,,

Also there are certain states that don't need triggers as they're going to behave as described here.  So that behavior may account for what you're seeing, but if you'd like we can always take a look at you're .story file. You'll just want to upload here using the "add attachment" button.

Thanks.

I did manage to figure out why it wasn't working initially.  The residual "working without triggers" is likely because of what Ashley described above.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Glad to hear it Christopher and thanks for the update!
