Hello! I'm super new and need some help. How can I set the Hint button on my slides to not show up until the user attempts to complete an activity? I've included a Drag & Drop as an example where I would like this to happen.
Your current trigger won't work because all of the objects need to be clicked to be visited within 3 seconds. I'd get rid of the visited and selected states for those objects unless you need them.
You want to change the state of the hint button. So the question is what would trigger that state change?
You could add a trigger that it's changed when an object is dropped on a target. You'd have to set that up for each drop because you're not sure which they'll do first.
Do you want the activity to be completed and then offer the hint for them to redo?
You need to evaluate the state of the drag objects and then based on that you can change the state of any object. Here's a quick tutorial (sorry about the fan, it's hot). :)
Thank you so much Tom! I think I need to learn about setting triggers on individual layers vs. setting them on the Base Layer. You have been a life saver! I appreciate it!
Last question on this one I promise. I watched a video where you set a trigger to restart the drag and drop after they hit Try Again. When I do that, it overrides my Hint trigger. Can you tell me how to fix it? Thank you so much!

Yes, that is exactly what would like. Thank you so much!
Hi again - Thanks Tom. What would be the best way to accomplish this?
