How reset a layer timeline
Jul 07, 2019
I am nou sure what I am doing wrong on this course.
I have a slide with 8 layers. On each layer there a button to move to the next layer and another one move to the previous layer. I defined a variable " layerState" and added a layer trigger on each layer to assign the variable with the layer number when the layer timeline start. Layer1 will set the variable to 1, layer2 to 2 etc..
All layers and base layer Revisit property is set to "Reset to initial state".
The variable is behaving as expected when I navigate from 1 to 7, however when I revisit a layer with the previous button, the variable value is not being updated. It keeps the highest value reached, meaning if i navigate to layer 4 and then reverse to layer 3, 2 or 1 , the value remains at 4.
Thanks you help is higher appreciated

Make sure the layer is hidden before going to it.
You could change the layer properties to hide other layers.
There objects on layer I want to display while the other layer. Hidden layers is not an option without big changes.
The only way to get a layer to start over is to have the layer property set to: Reset to initial state.
The layer also has to be hidden before showing it.
Lets say you are on Layer 3. On timeline start of that layer, you will want triggers to hide layer 2 and to hide Layer 4.
This way when you click the next button Layer 4 is already hidden. If you click the previous button Layer 2 is already hidden.
