Problem with Change of state trigger

Hi All,

I am having an issue with using the change state function that I am hoping someone can help with.

I have a button on a slide that has initial state of hidden. I have a trigger that the button will change state to normal once the timeline starts if the conditions of each of my t/f variables are met. I am 100% sure that there is no issue with variables as I have inserted references on the base slide which show the variables working correctly.

The problem I am having is that when I preview the slide on its own, the button changes state without a problem, however when I preview the entire scene it does not change to normal and therefore the learner cannot progress.

Any ideas on what I might be missing?

Hey Stuart,

It's hard to say what could be causing the issue without seeing more of your project - but from what you've posted it looks like it should be working.

Just some things you might want to check:

  • Is your slide set to resume or reset to initial state? It shouldn't affect your trigger but it could be affecting something else.
  • Is your show button trigger on the base layer or a slide layer?
  • Are your slide triggers ordered correctly? (i.e. nothing that could be resetting the button to hidden firing after the above trigger)
  • Does the rest of your scene behave as expected after all the variables are checked off?
  • Is the button object set to appear for the whole duration of the slide? Does it have an exit animation which could be causing it to hide itself prematurely?
