Have audio only play the first time a slide is viewed?

Feb 10, 2016

I am making a "Hospital Basics" course with a map where participants click on various departments to learn more about them, however I cannot figure out how to make it so the 'instructions' audio doesn't play every time they come back to the map.

Any ideas on how to set it up this way?

Hi Nate

created a T/F variable called 'slidevisited' and default to false. If they click the departments in a specific order add a trigger to the first department. If they can select in any order add the trigger to every slide and it will only trigger the once when a department slide is accessed.

Adjust variable 'slidevisited' to true when timeline starts on slide 'department A'.

Then add another trigger to the map. Stop audio 'audioname' when timeline starts on condition that 'slidevisited' variable = true.

Hope that helps - if not, you can use the Add attachment button to upload your .story file and someone can help you - easier if they can see the setup.

I'll try to figure this out. I just need the map to not repeat, so I think it should be a quasi-simple fix. Thank you for the quick reply!

I am having some trouble following the steps as I haven't done variables before. Is there any way I could ask for maybe a bit more detailed steps on adding the the slidevisited variable to just 1 slide? I am getting a little lost on the instructions that I've found so far.

I'd really appreciate it!
