Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I am using Storyline 360.
I have placed 3 overlapping hotspots in a video (see screenshot). Each timed to be triggered at different timepoints in the timeline(see screenshot). The purpose of this timed hotspot is to make the learner click on the screen when they recognise risk factors in the video. Each hotspot will then trigger a specific quiz layer. For example Hotspot 1 will trigger Quiz 1; and so on.
The current issue I have now is that despite timing the hotspots differently, only Hotspot 1/Quiz 1 works in all the timelines.
Note:
1. My triggers are all correct. I've checked many times now.
2. I added cue points but I can't make it work.
Is this issue because my hotspots are overlapping? Any tips please?
It's a lot more predictable to Hide this layer, than it is to jump to the same slide., especially if you have it set to automatically decide on revisit.
Also, I covered hotspot 1 with a transparent cover (I left an outline on it, so you can find it.) It starts hidden, and shows when the exit button is clicked on the correct answer. That keeps the learner from clicking hotspot1 again while it is active, if they have already answered correctly.
Making those changes to the quiz 1 layers makes it bring up quiz 2,
I have three hotspots at different cue points on a SL 360 timeline for a video. I'd like users to click the hotspots when prompted by narration in the video and jump to a URL. The hotspots fade out when the screen no longer prompts them to click.
None of the hotspots work or even given me an indication there's something to click (the hand over the hotspot).
And why am I still seeing the other hotspots when they shouldn't be visible at this point on the timeline?
I'm hesitant to upload the project TBH. There isn't much going on/nothing's confidential, but I'm still uneasy about just dropping it here. I'd be more comfortable sharing to a person.
Since you mentioned you'd prefer to have the behavior looked at in private, I went ahead and opened a support case so we can get you in touch with our support team. Your case is in good hands, and someone will be reaching out to you shortly to assist!

If you will attach your .story file here, someone can take a look at it and tell you why it isn't working.

Thank you.
I'm very suspicious of these triggers:

Hi Walt, thank you for the tips. Behaviours/functions are now working as I wanted. Thank you.
You're welcome. PIAWYC (Pass it along when you can).
Hmmm...it sounds like I have a similar issue.
