I attempted to create a new Variable Trigger for the button set but was unsuccessful!

You need variables to track progress. In you example, most people would use a T/F variable.

Example:

• var_KC1=False to start.
• When the user completes KC1, create a trigger to adjust variable = True.
• You can use those values, for example go to slide X when the variables 1, 2, and 3 are = True

The trick is knowing when to activate that last trigger. If the course is linear, then you can do it after the last KC. If they can jump around then you need to account for that and add the trigger in multiple places.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for taking time to respond to my post! I really appreciate you for that! The course contains 6 topics that can be completed in any order (because I don't know how to tell it not too), a congratulations slide, and a final knowledge check. When I preview the entire project  it goes wonky at the end. Oh, I forgot to mention the course is tiered each topic has it's on lane. I'd send you a screenshot but Storyline is frozen. 

The other problem I am facing is when I attempt to create a new variable trigger it doesn't allow me to. What I mean is the trigger wizard will appear, I click the parameters I think I need but nothing happens after that but Storyline blinks but doesn't put the newly created variable trigger in the triggers menu?

Thanks again,

Stephanie

I created a tutorial and walk through how I'd set it up. It shows how to set it up if you want non-linear or linear navigation.

I'm not sure what's happening to your Storyline file. If you continue to have problems with Storyline contact our support team. 

Hi Tom,

You Rock! Thank you so very much! I will review the tutorial you created for me to follow I will keep you posted!

Thanks again,

Stephanie

It's me again! While attempting to create my buttons/Set I initially created shapes with icon/small shapes then added them to my buttons. But I removed them once I realized I couldn't create a button set for my menu slide. Is there a Storyline rule I am breaking? 

Cheers,

Stephanie

Part of the problem is the way you are constructing the buttons. When you put the icons atop the buttons, you still have two separate objects, and they each need their own triggers, (and states). What you want to do is to put the icon on the screen, copy it, edit the states of the button, and paste the icon on the normal state. That changes the two objects into one single object.

I do have a question about how you are using "button set". Button sets are created so that out of all the buttons in the set, only one of them can be in a Selected state at a time. Clicking a second button in the set changes it to Selected, and the previous one to Normal.

Hi Walt,

Thanks for getting back to me. Thanks for shinning light to what I was doing incorrectly with the icon/button set. I am racing to get turn in the course for review today so please forgive for my tone. 

My thought was to create a button set on my menu/topics slide to guide the entire course. Once the learner clicks the first button they are lead to complete every slide in the string of slides, then be taken back to the menu/topics page to select the next inline menu/button. 

Let me know if that answers your question? 

Thanks again,

Stephanie

Done.

Good morning Walt,

Absolutely!

Thanks again for all of your support!
