Next Button Disabled Until Layers Completed. Needs to be Normal when learner goes back to Slide.

Jan 05, 2023

I have a slide that has multiple flip cards and right now I have it setup to disable the next button until the learner completes all of the layers. I did this by activating the restricted feature on the player.

However, how do I get the next button to be normal if a user goes back to this slide? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Casey, 

Thanks for reaching out! 

Have you tried setting the revisit behavior of your slide to Resume saved state so that it will remember the state of the objects in your slide during a revisit? 

If you're already using this option, would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so we can take a look at how your slide is configured? We'll delete it afterwards!

Thanks for sharing your file.

The reason why the Next Button is always disabled during a revisit is due to the presence of this trigger, which immediately disables the button when the slide is loaded. 

I added a trigger condition and a reference variable to get around this.

The variable viewed will be changed to true once your learners reach the last layer in the slide. 

Attached is an edited version of your project file that will now allow learners to click on the Next Button after revisiting the slide. 

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you Joe. I appreciate your assistance and see that this does work on your story, however, it still isn't working on mine. When I go to preview the scene, it still disables the next button when I go back to this slide, it also starts the timeline over again from the very beginning. My base layer and layer 4 look exactly like yours so I'm not sure what's going on. Also, does the slide have to be in resume saved state for this to work?
