on a slide I jump via triggers back and forth on the timeline.
Also, on certain points on the timeline I change the states of variables via triggers ("change variable X when timeline reaches Y").
When I jump the timeline I see that storyline considers all my "variable change"-triggers along the way, so regarding the variables it is more a "fast forward" than "jumping". Can this somehow be prevented?
I need the variables to only change when I - on purpose - play the corresponding segment of the timeline, not when I jump to a certain timecode. Any ideas on this? Or can you point me to a corresponding post?
Thank you for your support Walt! Unfortunately that doesn't solve my problem. Here's the thing: I change a "state"-variable depending on timepoints. Depending on this variable's state I want things to happen after the jump. When I jump on the timeline it changes all states along the way and by this triggers a lot of actions I don't want. I found a workaround which is not very beautiful but does the job. Thanks again!

With each jump where you don't want the variables to change, create another trigger that sets the variable to a correct value.
