Looking for help with plotting on graph

If you want to use sliders as components in your chart then there is no need to create states. All you have to do is connect one of the variables which was set in earlier slides to a slider on the 'results' slide. With that, the slider thumb will move to a position that corresponds to the variable value.

Thanks Michael.

The states were to move the whole slider from left to right to do the other axis while the button was in its position from the other variable. I have the slider verical. I may not be explaining that we'll enough.

I would have a slide on each X position set the slider to normal on X= and then set the y on the slider based on the value, may reduce the number of triggers you need.

Thanks Phil

That would work great for 1 data point but there are many on this slide.

I am thinking this may not ne feasible.

If it is a complicated graph I would look at using a javascript library and a web object to plot the graph. 

Thanks Phil

The attached sample has two variables on a scale from 1 - 5.

There is 1 slide that allows the user to set the values, then advance to the static slide to see the results. There is also a dynamic slide where the user can change the valuse and see the results in real time.

Thank you Walt.  that is an interesting way to tackle this.  It works great for one plot point but may be challenged for multiple ones like a scatter plot which is kind of what they are after.  it also still gives me 10 triggers per variable.  I really appreciate you taking the time to try and help me though.

My question for a staff person remains.  do states work on sliders?  My attempt was to move the entire slider's position on the screen based on states and it does not move.  It allows me to make the states but does not show them when triggered.

I fear this may not be possible in Storyline but it was fun trying.

I made a simple test to see if sliders respond to states.  they respond to internal states like hidden and normal but not to custom states from what I can see.  Not sure if this is a bug or expected behaviour.

I used custom states in my ninja game they worked fine only on the thumb. It may be because you are moving position

Thanks Phil;

I just tested that by both changing the thumb and moving the location in a custom state and it only changed the thumb.  too bad as that would have cut down 5 triggers per item if I could have used it to move my slider on the one axis.
