Multiple "Actions" per Trigger

Mar 29, 2023

Is there a way to have one trigger perform multiple actions? Currently, I'm setting up several triggers all around one thing happening and haven't found a way around that. Sometimes it's not a big deal, other times it's a massive pain.

An example of what I'd like to do is:
"Adjust a variable AND change an object state WHEN timeline reaches Cue #1"

Mario,

Not clear if this is what you are trying to do...but I'll take a chance.

If you want an object state change to occur when the timeline reaches cue#1 and you want a variable to change as well, why not create a trigger that looks like the following?

Slide Trigger
Set Variable1 to True when the timeline reaches cue #1 on the slide level

Variable Trigger
Set state of (object) to (your chosen state) when the Variable1 changes, if the Variable1 is True

Create the adjust variable trigger, copy and paste it. Then within the trigger panel, on one of them, click "adjust" and from the drop down select change state. I think that is easier and as fast as what you suggest, which would involve adding an action, then from the same drop down making the same selection.

To clarify, what I am hoping to do is to have one trigger (when timeline reaches cue #1) do multiple things (change state of rectangle to hidden AND set variable X to True).

I understand that this can currently be done with multiple triggers (1. when timeline reaches cue #1 change state of rectangle to hidden // 2. when timeline reaches cue #1 set variable X to True), but on a few slides I have several instances like this so I end up with dozens of triggers that are all variations of "When timeline reaches cue #n..." so it can be hard to keep track of all of that. 

It doesn't seem like this is possible at this time, which is fine.

UPDATE: This isn't exactly what I was hoping for from a creation standpoint, but 'grouping' triggers does solve the organization of triggers, which is a step forward.
