I'm sorry I've read countless suggestions for this problem but none of them have solved the issue for me. I have used variables to deactivate and activate the next button but it still doesn't show as normal/true even when all of the criteria is completed, please help! The issue is on the layer called The Attack
Hi Mary, I made a few adjustments to the attack layer and the button now works as it should.
You had the trigger to change the next button to normal attached to the button object. I changed it so that it would trigger when the timeline started.
I also removed all of the triggers to change the oval objects to visited. This did not impact your results but you don't need to add triggers to set the visited states because Storyline has built-in logic to do this.
Hope this helped. Please let me know if you need further explanation.
Unfortunately I'm having the same issue with another slide even though I set it up just like the first one, which now works fine, I can't figure out what the problem is, it just won't change the next button to Normal. Thank you
Thanks for following up! Instead of changing the button's state to Normal when the timeline starts, try using When the variable changes. In this case, the timeline has already started and will not trigger the change. I've completed that for you in your first slide and have attached it below!
Excellent, that worked, thanks so much! I'm confused however as it seems to be the opposite to the fix above at the start of this thread, but it worked!
I now have the issue where the next buttons work fine in preview mode but when I publish (to review360) they are not working. Has anyone experienced this before? Would it be possible to send you my course privately so you can take a look?
Oh no! Let's see if we can figure out what is causing that snag.
