I'm using Storyline 2 and trying to use a hotspot to simulate a feature of our software. When the user hovers over a dropdown box (a picture), it highlights (state change); then when the user clicks, it opens the dropdown (show new layer). I can get it to highlight, but not to show the layer. I've tried switching up the order in which the triggers sit, but it doesn't help. I tried setting a condition so it would work when the box was highlighted - nothing. What's a good workaround here?
Thanks for sharing your file with us! I made a few changes, and I think i've got it working as you'd like it to:
You actually don't need the hotspot on the base layer. Instead, add a Hover state to the Box6 image. The cool thing about the hover state is you won't need to trigger it, since it's a default state.
The initial state of the Dropdown image was "Hidden". You'll want to adjust the initial state to "Normal".
Have a look at the updated file I attached, and let me know if that'll work for you!
Haha sometimes it's like finding a needle in a haystack! It helps to have a second pair of eyes look over it, and I'm glad you're all sorted out now. Good luck on the rest of your project!

Hidden. Of course the default state was hidden. Thank you, I'll be using the Hover state in the future!
