Menu checklist does not change state

Hi all!

This is my first storyline project and I am trying to create a custom menu (slide 1.6 menu) where the check icon changes from gray to blue when each section is complete (pressing the "return to main menu" button on slides 3.6, 2.12 and 4.7). However, I can't seem to get any of them to change color when I publish the file. I inserted the variable results into the meu slide and that shows that the variables are correctly changing from "false" to "true", but the state doesn't change on the published slide when I view it in review360. I have attached the storyline file. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Rachel,

I looked at your file and tested out the calendar section. Here is what I would do:

  • Adjust your triggers on the menu slide. You have "change state" to "completed" when the variable changes, but the variable is changing on a different slide, which can't trigger a state change on this slide. Instead, set your triggers to something like Set state of CalendarComplete to completed when the timeline starts on this slide if calendarviewed = true

The other thing I noticed is that the user can get back to the main menu without going through the 3 strategies. Slide 2.3 has a next button that jumps the user back to the main menu, but the Calendarviewed variable doesn't change to true unless they get to slide 2.12 (you have completed the section on calendar strategies).  You could take your next button off of slide 2.3, or you could have it jump to strategy, but either way you want to make sure they actually get to 2.12 where that variable changes, so that they have to select the "back to main menu" button, which triggers the variable change.

I only looked at the Calendar Strategies section but I hope that helps!
