Modify the timeline
Apr 24, 2019
Is it possible to modify the timeline depending on variables?
I have a slide where objects appear depending on the timeline, to view all the objects in the slide, following the audio, can take 2 minutes, but maybe the user after spending that time in that slide, wants to come back after some time to the same slide, he does not need to wait the 2 minutes to see all the objects in that slide, so I would like to save in a variable that the user already have seen completely the slide and then show all the objects at once.
Writing my question I have thought in a possible solution, copy my base layer in a new layer, showing all the objects at once if the variable defined is true.
If you have any other solution I will thank you!!!

You could set the slide to resume saved state?
That would mean the user would come back to the slide as they left it still showing all of the objects.
Another option to consider is instead of having objects appear staggered on the timeline, have them always visible, but start with them in a hidden state until timeline reaches X.
That allows you to use a variable to make them all visible based on a specific condition and you're not tied to the timeline at all.
Here's a quick demo of both approaches for those interested.
