Help with Triggers Revealing Next Button

Jan 02, 2020

Hello, I'm having issues getting the next button to appear after some variables calculate on a slide. Could I get some help? Basically, there are 5 items on the slide. Once they click the 4 correct ones I want the next button to appear. I attached the project file. Thank you

yes that worked! I removed the adding variables and just made the next button change states to normal when all of the checkmarks are completed. I changed the order of the variables changing before showing the layers for each item.

Thank you! Phew. I've been at this for two days.

Is there are a general rule of thumb for ordering triggers?

Great news Matthew...

yes rules are

The order of all triggers is important and determines when they execute.

  • Slide master triggers execute before slide and layer triggers.
  • When there are multiple triggers on the same object that are triggered by the same action (e.g., when the learner clicks a button), triggers execute in the order they appear in the Triggers panel.

so...

if you have an adjust variable and a jump to / show layer if you do the jump/show first, then the adjust variable will never execute.
