So I'm clearly having some kind of brain fart, but I'm struggling to understand why my object won't stay in its "Visited" state after clicking on it.
I set up a "Hover" trigger so the state of my object changes to a different color when hovering, and also set up a "Visited" trigger so my object changes to yet another color after clicking on it. Why, though, does my object revert to its original color after clicking on a different object on the same slide? That is, why does it not stay "Visited"?
Hard to tell, without seeing the .story file, but I'll take a guess.
If your object has a state named "Visited", it also has built-in triggers that are invisible to you that cannot be changed. If you have created a trigger to change the state to "Visited", it is likely that your trigger and the built-in triggers are in conflict. Same with the "Hover" state.
Try deleting your triggers and see if the built-in ones do what you want.
Do you by any chance branch to a different slide and come back to this slide? If yes, on the lower right, click the Settings (gear icon) and select "Resume saved state" on the When revisiting field.
Hi, Brandon -- I see that Walt and Melody have stopped in to offer some assistance, but if you are looking for something else, you may want to share your file to better illustrate what you had in mind. Please use the ADD ATTACHMENT button in the bottom left corner of the reply box and you can browse/upload from there!

You nailed it, Walt! Thanks for the help.
And thanks to the rest of you for chiming in. Sometimes I don't Storyline so good. :)
Walt to the rescue! Thanks so much for stopping in to let us know you are all set, Brandon!
