I have a scene in a try-mode simulation that needed to have a slide redone. I recorded a new scene and just did a few clicks to get 3 slides in it, one of which was the one needed for replacing the slide that had to be redone.
The problem is, no player triggers were created in that new scene, so when I try to add a new player trigger (jump to slide ___ when user clicks next button), the trigger wizard only provides the Object choices for slide triggers, so there's no way to create the triggers to jump to the previous or next slide.
Any suggestions on how to create the player triggers?
Hi, John -- Thanks for reaching out here! Apologies if I am not totally clear on what you need, but perhaps some of the ideas presented in this discussion might be useful: Adding Trigger Buttons to the "Player"?
I created a new scene, that had 3 slides in it. I needed one of those slides to replace an existing slide. Normally, when you create a try-mode scene, the individual slides in it have the default slide triggers and the default player triggers included. the default player triggers that are created with the slides are "Jump to next slide when the user clicks the next button" and "Jump to previous slide when the user clicks the previous button".
Those 2 player triggers were not created.
When I copied the new slide to the scene to use it to replace a slide, I could not create those 2 player triggers.
Here's what was causing the player triggers to be missing. When the new scene was created, in story view, for all of the slides, the slide navigation controls In the slide properties panel were all unchecked. When I checked Prev and Next the player triggers appeared.

Let me try to explain again.

Does this make more sense now?

Excellent news, John! Thanks so much for stopping in with an update, as it may benefit others in the future. :)
