Moving Objects to defined position on slide independent of the starting position

Aug 09, 2021

I would like to move objects to a defined absolute position on the screen, independent of the starting position.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is such a feature being planned?

Hi, Martin. 

Thank you for reaching out!

Can you expand on what you're trying to achieve, or possibly share a .story file with your ideas?

If I understand your request correctly, then it's something that you can already do in Storyline. Take a look at the example below:

main_large

The object moves through a Line Motion Path (with relative starting point) every time the user presses the left arrow key:

There is a second Line Motion Path that starts and end at the same position, which is activated by the Clear button:

Regardless of where the object is, it will move it back to the original position when the button is pressed. 

Is this similar to what you're looking to do?
