Help with triggers and layers

Feb 22, 2013

Hello, I'm new to Storyline and have imported a PPT with animations. How do I go about setting up a trigger which will prevent a user from advancing to the next slide before the timeline completes?

Hi Elena,

In that situation I'll often:

1. Create true/false variable called "SlideFinished" (default to "false")

2. Add a trigger that sets the variable to "true" when the main timeline finishes.

3. Add a condition on the next button trigger that says jump to next slide when "slidefinished" == true.

You'll also need to add a trigger to reset "SlideFinished" to false when the main timeline starts if you plan on using this variable on more than 1 slide (otherwise it will be "true" when the next slide starts and won't prevent the learner from clicking "next" too early).

Hope that helps!
