Keeping layers ON all the time

If you want the layers to remain visible after being selected, then deselect the hide layers in the layers property.

Here's a quick video to show how it works.

Thanks Tom, I already did and nothing happens. 

Also, make sure that “Hide layer when timeline ends” is not selected.

Layers show until they are hidden, so something is hiding the layers. If you can’t find it, attach your .story file here, and someone will help you look for it.

FYI, layers by default have “Hide other layers” selected, so they hide all other layers when they show.

If you want to share the slide we can look at it.

Thank you very much for your time and support. 

Attaching the storyline file for you to evaluate.

Let me try to explain what I have there in the file:

There are 4 questions.  Each of the question have a YES NO button,  when you click them there is a dropdown with another 2 buttons (yes and no), which are basically layers.  If you click at YES or NO you will then get a correct or incorrect feedback through a "show layer" trigger.

It´s is true that there is a "hide this layer" trigger at  those "YES" and "NO" layers,  I have tried to remove them but still layers aren´t stay visible.

While playing around, I think this can be accomplish by adding the feedback into each YES and NO button states, but this seems to be like a lot of work and I am sure it can be solved much easier.

Hope this makes sense and here is a preview of the file.

Thanks

When I set all of the layers to not hide, it worked. Of course you need a trigger to turn off the yes/no layer.

Personally, instead of the drop down, I'd probably use radial buttons. But that's a subjective decision.

Hi Tom! thanks for your support.  I have tried again and it worked.  This time I have clean the whole project for unused triggers and also removed the drop-down menu for the YES and NO´s.   the overall UX is much better now!

Now the issue I am having is that you can still select the buttons and what I am getting are feedback layers overlaps. 

I guess there is a way to tell SL to deactivate a button (E.g. the NO button) if learners select the YES button.   I think this is done with the if-then function but I haven´t manage to make it work.

Any recommendation for the above?

Thanks!

If you add custom buttons, create a button set and then you will only be able to toggle between those two and when one is on the other is off.

From there, you can either use a t/f variable or a trigger like this:

for on: show layer on when on button is selected, else show layer off

for off: show layer off when off button is selected, else show layer on

Something like that

Hi Tom, just to update that I have manage to solve what I needed using variables as suggested.

Thank you very much for all the guidance provided.

Cool. Glad you got it working.
