Jump to next Cue Point
Apr 12, 2021
I have several cue points on my slide. If the users clicks the mouse, I want them to jump to the next cue point from wherever they are on the timeline.
This means that if they have already passed cue points 1 and 2, then they click the mouse, I want them to be moved immediately to cue point 3.
Currently I am using a counter but if they pass several cue points before clicking the mouse, it takes them back to cue point 1 (first click) and they have to click several times to get to the desired cue point. Not really a good solution.
Any ideas out there?

You would need to track what is the last cue pount user has passed. You can do that using a number variable.
First, add triggers like: "Change variable POSITION to X when timeline reaches Cue point 1/2/3/4"
Then you add triggers for all cue points to your button:
Jump to Cue point 2/3/4 if variable POSITION = 1/2/3.
Hope it makes sense!
Thank you very much Nejc. It works like a charm.

Hi Nejc. One more addition to the above solution that you provided (thank you again).
I found that if the "Jump to..." is in numeric order then if I click my object once, it sppeds all the way through to the last cue point.
BUT by reversing the numeric order so that EG " Jump to Cue Point 3 if Variable POSITION=2" is before " Jump to Cue Point 2 if Variable POSITION=1" then the user will only jump to the next cue point. Which is EXACTLY what I want.
