Hotspot trigger and other questions
Jan 15, 2020
Hi. I need help with this one. I have this scene on which there is an MCQ (created with a freeform). There is a recorded dialogue to listen to before attempting the MCQ. I give students 3 tries. The MCQ works fine. If successful, the transcription of the dialogue appears after clicking the Continue button on the Correct slide.
I want to give a grammatical explanation to students when they go through the transcription. To do so, I inserted a hotspot on a phrase and an explanation appears when students hover over the phrase.
1. When I preview, hovering over the phrase brings me back to the base layer instead of the grammatical explanation. I don't know why.
2. As mentioned, I gave students 3 tries for the MCQ. I would like the transcription to appear after the 3rd unsuccessful try. I don't know how to do that.
Thanks for your help :-)

Hi Christophe
I added a trigger to show the layer transcription when the user clicks the Continue button on the incorrect layer (which displays after 3rd attempt) - not sure what you want to happen after that.
See Peek video
Thanks. Yes, what to do was obvious. Sorry. Still, I did it and it does not work. Just like the trigger with the hotspot does not work even though I used it successfully on another slide before. I have no idea what's going on. It's mega frustrating.
I just realised that you must disable the Trigger "Hide this layer when the user clicks continue". Now it is working. On to the hotspot issue now ...
Here is your file back with the trigger I added. Maybe I don't understand your issue - sorry Christophe.
Out of curiosity, I added a hotspot on the base layer with a trigger to show the grammar notes and it works perfectly. Weird.
The second problem is solved (adding a trigger to show the transcription layer when the user clicks the Continue button on the incorrect layer (which displays after 3rd attempt). Thanks Wendy.
I have not solved the first problem, the hotspot that does not work.

did you see my Peek video above. When the transcription layer shows and I hover over the hotspot the purple table displays - what are you expecting when you hover over the hotspot?
I expect the same as what you saw. Problem is, it does not happen. As mentioned before, when I hover over the hotspot the base layer reappears, not the table. I know it is weird, but that's what's happening. No idea why. As an experiment, I replaced Hover by Click and it worked. Bizarre ... How do you do this peek video btw. I might be able to show you that I am not drunk :-)
OK, I figured out Peek. Here is my video.
