Hello,

I have been trying to use the trigger to move from a slide to a layer on a different slide but that had been impossible. Is there another way? Help!

Hi Toulope,

Michael is showing you how 3 different buttons on Slide 1 can bring you to 3 different layers on slide 2.

He's controlling all of this with a variable. You can create a new variable by clicking the Manage Project Variables button in the Triggers panel

He created a  number variable called SlideLayerSelect and set the default = 0


On Slide 1

He begins by adding a trigger to set slidelayerselect variable to 0 (good practice)

If you double-click on this trigger in the Triggers panel, you can see how it was set up. You can do the same for all the other triggers.

Then, he adds a trigger to the Go to slide#2, Layer 1 button to adjust the slidelayerselect variabe to =1 when the user clicks the button

He also adds a trigger to this same Go to slide#2, Layer 1 button to jump to the next slide when the user clicks the button

He repeats this for the Go to slide#2, Layer 2 button and the Go to slide#2, Layer 3 button, adjusting the variable to match the layer. 

On Slide 2

He adds a trigger on the base layer to Show layer1 when the timeline starts if the slidelayerselect variable=1

He adds an additional trigger for showing layer 2 if slidelayerselect variable =2, and a trigger for showing layer 3 if slidelayerselect variable = 3.

Hope this helps a bit. Please shout out with any questions.
