I just watched a tutorial about changing a character's expression on a timeline. So I added some shapes outside of a slide, arranged the shapes to come in at specific intervals. When I select to create a new trigger, I select:
Change State of
Character
To state - This is where I don't see any character expression options like the video
I only see Built in (normal, hovered over, etc) and drag and drop. How do I access character expressions such as angry, alarmed, etc? Thank you!
Hi Matthew - Thanks for the quick response. My To State menu options stop at drag and drop and I don't see the expressions category at all. I'm wondering if I need to download something. I have a full version that my company bought me. Thanks
I am trying to add a trigger to change the expression of my character, but I don't see expression category at all as I see in tutorial videos. I am attaching a screen shot for your review.
I have been trying for past 2 days. A timely response will be deeply appreciated.

Do you have your trigger setup like this:
Would you be okay with posting the .story file? There may be an evident reason, but I'd need to see it.

I know this may sound like an obvious question, but do you have "On Object" selecting the character you want?
Hi Ashley - I am pretty sure I selected the character, but I will double check. Thanks
Yeah, it seems super obvious, but I figured it was worth a double-check.
I am having exactly the same problem as Julie Strauss. I am on Articulate Storyline 2.
I get no Expression Options - when I select 'to State'. See attached.
Is there any fix for this?
Solved my problem. I was referring to the wrong object.
Thanks for the update Tim. Glad you were able to get this sorted.

Hi Shaily!
The photographic characters don't have the built-in expressions. Only the illustrated characters have those.
To add a state change like that to a photographic character, try this:
I hope that helps!
Thanks a lot, that makes it a lot clearer. I'll try that.
