Help with true/false variable
Oct 20, 2015

I have a jumping off slide where learner need to learn about 5 product categories. When they return to the launching page I want an image to change states assuming they've viewed all the slides associated with that product category. I've got a true/false variable that should change to true after all the links on a particular product category page have been visited. I can't seem to get it to work properly. I'm probably missing something very basic. I've attached the .story file in case what I've said here doesn't make sense. I'm running on a lack of sleep. My launch page is slide 1.5 under scene Product Training. The product category that I've been experimenting is laser/LED/Inkjet. Thanks for any help.

On slide 1.5, change the slide trigger that changes the picture`s state from `When Variable changes` to `When timeline starts` and change the slide properties of that slide to `Reset to initial state`.
Jesse, took a look at your file and noticed that you are setting variable values based on "visited" states of images. While you should be able to do this, I've found it to not be a reliable way to do this.
It seems that you would be able to accomplish the same thing by creating a few extra variables. For example, when someone clicks on the "how it works" option in the laser/LED/inkjet section set a "how it works" variable to true. Then, for your section, adjust your variable for that section to "True" if all of the subsection variables equal "true".
Make sense?
What should Object be set to?
Brian Allen,
What you suggest makes sense. I'll try that. Thanks.
Michael's advice is pretty solid, too, and I didn't look at this variable. It would be easiest for you to try this first, less work. Set the "object" to the name of your slide.
Everyone, Thank you for your help. Michael Hinze, your advice worked perfectly and it involves less work that Brian's suggestion. There is always more than one way to do things in Storyline.
