I have a diagram that has numbered markers placed on it. Two of the markers represent one step (step 3). I'm trying to create a trigger that will open both of the step 3 markers at the same time when the user hovers over either of them. I've set both markers to "show all on hover" and I have triggers assigned to change the state of the other marker to hover when the user hovers over the marker. The trigger only makes the other marker disappear. I've attached the slide for reference. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for sharing that file here and a description of your set up. I don't believe that more than one marker can open at a time - as they're mention to function independently and be default when you click to open another marker the first marker closes.
Possibly instead of using the built in markers for those two - what if you set both of them to show a layer when hovered over where the information is displayed? You would than need to also include a trigger to hide the layer - but that set up may work a bit better for your needs.
Hi Ashley, Thanks for the suggestion. While that setup would work, it's needlessly complicated. Since markers have states, and a user can assign triggers for those states, I don't understand why the triggers don't work.
There is no trigger to open a marker the hover is the state of the marker button itself and not the caption which cannot be triggered it is not possible to have two markers open at the same time.
You could create two objects that look like markers with captions and trigger those.
Phil, I've set the marker to show the caption on hover. Then set the trigger to change the state of the other marker to hover...It should work, but it doesn't. Since it doesn't, is there a way to copy the caption state and marker as an image so I can paste it into a layer?

I'll answer my own question. No, no there isn't.
