I need the text animiations to finish before an end-user can click on "next" - how would I do that? I am assuming I can do it using variables - but I am not familar with how to work with variables yet...can you help
Although locking the user to a slide isn't something I recommend, here's a way you can achieve what you want off the top of my head:
1)Create a t/f variable (say 'end') with an initial value of false. 2)Create a trigger in the form of : Adjust value of 'end' to false when timeline of 'slide' starts. 3)Create another trigger in the form of : Adjust value of 'end' to true when timeline of 'last animation' ends. 4)Edit the "go to next slide trigger" and add conditional statement : if end==false
I tried your steps and I may have something incorrect. I have added a screenshot of the "slide triggers" that I have. And the issue is that the next button will not click to the next slide, even after the text animation ends.

Hi Dana,

2)Create a trigger in the form of : Adjust value of 'end' to false when timeline of 'slide' starts.
3)Create another trigger in the form of : Adjust value of 'end' to true when timeline of 'last animation' ends.
4)Edit the "go to next slide trigger" and add conditional statement : if end==false
Repeat 2,3 and/or 4 for every other slide.
Hope this helps,

Hi Alex and Storyline Community

Hi Dana,
Your trigger to adjust the variable is adjust it to the value of the variable - what you'll want it to look like is this one:
There is a built in variable type for True/False - which I think is what Alex was recommending
ok I think I figured it out. Hope this works. Thanks for your help Alex. Now I just need to make last animation right at end
Thanks.
