make hovers appear only on the first visit
May 02, 2019
Hi. I have a main menu slide. The first time a person visits, I want them to hear the narration which is a brief explanation of the contents of the presentation. Also, the first time, I want the user to see the hover effects when each navigation category is mentioned. For visits after the first visit, I want no audio to play, and I do NOT want the hover effects to show.
I have managed to get the audio not to play on the revisit, but the hovers are not cooperating. I think I'm close, but something still isn't right. If someone could look at my project, specifically my variable, and see my error, I would greatly appreciate it. The main menu slide is 1.3. Thanks!

Some people duplicate the buttons and remove the hover on one set. Have the buttons with hover hide after an event. If you put the second set underneath, that will be visible when the first set is hidden.
Another option is to not use hover. Instead create a custom state and use a state change trigger when mouse is over. Then use a variable condition to disable the mouseover.
Looking at your file, I'd add the buttons with hover on the layer with the audio. This would work since you already are using a variable to turn it off.
Then create second set of buttons without the hover and leave on the base slide.
Your solution worked great. I also had to change the conditions on the state change for the hexagons from False to True. Thanks so much! I have been working on this seemingly simple problem for three days!
I've been using Storyline since the beginning and I still get stumped on what ends up being simpler than what I was trying. That's how we learn. :)
