HotSpots
Dec 18, 2019
Hi,
I'm relatively new to Storyline and am just creating my first course.
I have created a menu that navigates to where it should be in the course - all okay here. However, I am using hotspots to label pieces of equipment to show layer information when the user clicks the hotspot. There are about 9 hotspots on one image. I can get back to the main hotspot page with the machine on it by using a back button trigger, but can't figure out how to go back to the main menu or the next slide once all the hotspots have been visited.
Do I need to create a true/false variable to take me either to the next slide or back to the main navigation page once all hotspots have been selected and viewed?

Hi, Michelle,
Variables can't take you to the next slide or back to the main page. A variable is merely a container for specified information (for example: True or False, a number, or a piece of text).
Triggers perform actions (for example: jumping to another slide or showing a layer). A trigger may include conditions about when it should run (for example: when a variable equals a designated value or an object reaches a given state).
So here's what you can do for your project:
Good luck!
Thanks will give it a go.
Hi Judy,
I'm nearly there but just can't seem to get my base layer button to go to the next slide.
Hi Michelle
here is a rough sample that might help you
I seem to still be having problems getting my return button to show once all of the hotspots have been visited. Could you take a look at my triggers to see where i'm going wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
