Hi all, I have a question about hotspots. I have a slide with various objects which all contain hotspots and lead to different layers/slides once a user clicks on a particular hotspot. I would like the user to click on the hotspots in a particular order without making the order explicit. Is it possible to create a variable to deactivate certain hotspots on a slide until other hotspots have been clicked on? Any guidance is greatly appreciated! Thanks! -yildiz
Hi, Yildiz -- Thanks so much for reaching out with your question on customizing hotspot behavior. Please check out this information if you have not already had a chance, and I will go ahead and defer to the community to assist you further with design ideas and inspiration. :)
I'd rather use buttons which have disabled states, then you can use conditions. Reason is hotspots don't have disabled states or hidden states. If you insist you can put transparetn shapes on top of the hotspots which will go hidden once certain hotspots are clicked.
As Muhammad suggested, buttons or transparent objects with states are the way to go in this case. Here is an example of a simple interaction, where buttons have to be pressed in a particular order. Once the correct button is pressed the next one in the sequence is enabled and so forth.
