Help with States and Trigger
Jan 30, 2017

Hello E-Learning Heroes.
I have created a scene (the opening slide 1 is attached). I have created a trigger for each of the main topic images to reveal content when dropped on the "Go" object (Slide 2, for instance).
I am directing users to return to main topic slide (slide 1) after reading or completing the content and I would like for the "visited" state (Slide 1.Object State.Visited) to reveal the check mark once they return to the Main Topic slide (slide 1). I have also attached how I have attempted to create a trigger to "change the the state of." Which I know I am not doing correctly.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated. I do hope my screenshots are clear.

It may be easier to help if you can share your .story file here. Looking at the screenshots it seems to me that the object is never meant to be clicked (but dragged and dropped), so your Visited state would never be triggered.
Thank you, Michael, for your willingness to explore and provide me some assistance. Here is the .story.
I don't have SL1 anymore and had to open your file in SL2, which is not backwards-compatible. So, I have to describe what I did, using The Introduction object on slide 1.2 as an example:
1. Create a T/F variable, e.g. 'Section01Complete' with an initial value of False.
2. On slide 1.3: Add a slide trigger to adjust the value of variable 'Section01Complete' to True when timeline starts.
3. On slide 1.2: Duplicate the Visited state of the 'Introduction' object, call it 'Completed' and delete the Visited state. Then, add a slide trigger that changes the state of Introduction to Completed when timeline starts, under the condition that variable 'Section01Complete' is True.
Hope that makes sense.
Michael, that is some heavy-duty storyline ninja skills. You are brilliant. Thanks so much that worked perfectly.
