Menu Button Options

Oct 25, 2017

Hi, I have a menu slide with 4 selection buttons on it and an Exit button that I want to appear after all four of the other buttons have been visited. Then I want the Exit button to take the learner to another slide when clicked. This is what I've done (see coding for button 5 in attachment), but the Exit button never appears. Any ideas?

When your jump is to other slides, you cannot use ""state is ..." in the When portion of a trigger (as you have proven)

[RANT ON] I have asked support many times to remove it from places in the list where it doesn't work. Please, some other people join you voices so we can get this fixed. [RANT OFF]

When you return to the slide, the starting of the timeline hides NEXT, and the states don't change, so your trigger is never fired.

Solution:

Change state of EXIT to hidden when timeline starts on condition Button 1 state ! = visited, OR Button ...

Be sure you use OR. That way, if any button is not visited, NEXT is hidden. If they are all visited, it stays normal.

The attached story illustrates what I mean, or you may get some help from this thread:
