I am hoping someone might be able to help.. I have a slide (picture an office scene with different items you need to click on. For example; a book, shelf, phone etc) each item has a hot spot triggering a layer with information on it. I want to make sure the user clicks each hot spot THEN once they have visited each hot spot I want a new slide to appear with the next lot of instructions to move on.. or something like 'you have collected all the information' - i just don't know to set it so it doesn't happen until each one has been seen....
if you have a slide started it's easier for someone to help you if they can work with your setup. Can you upload the .story file. Does the user have to click the hotspots in any particular order?
I have attached the storyline example I have made so far.. it doesn't matter in what order the learner clicks as long as they gather the information available
One way to do this is creating a variable for each hotspot. I did two of them in the example. When you show the layer with the info, you have a button on the layer that hides it. I added a trigger on it to set the variable from 0 to 1.
So, on the baseline you just need a trigger watching these variables and if all of them are 1, you jump. Take a look. Caveat is that on the baselayer, you need as many triggers as variables you have. Attached.
Another way to do that is creating a Change variable also. On every single layer, when you close it, you also adjust this Change variable by adding 1. Then on the baselayer, you need only one trigger watching: it would go to the next slide WHEN variable Change changes AND all variables are 1.
Hopefully this helps. I have added a 2 variables and changed them to true when each hotspot layer is opened.Then on the base layer I have put a trigger to jump to next slide once all layer variables are true.
Wow!! Thanks so much Julia, this is exactly what I want to do :) are you able to tell me how you added the variable? I've added in a few more hotspots and would like them included

thank you so much Zsolt, this is exactly what I want to do for each hotspot
Glad that you were able to get what you needed here Carly. Thanks for popping in with an update.
Yay, I finally got it! Thank you all so much you guys are amazing -variables was always something i never thought i would understand!
I still feel that way sometimes Carly :) We have some smart users.
