Return to previous slide opens Layer and not Base Layer

Nov 14, 2022

Hi. We have produced a scene that consists 4 slides. Slide 1 features introduction to a subject. On this slide the user clicks on 2 icons in order to open slide 2 and 3. Slide 2 and 3 have a variable = false that turns into true when timeline starts. When returning to slide 1, respective clickable icons change state to "Visited". When both slide 2 and 3 are visited, both variables turned into true and states are changed to "Visited", layer "Continue" on slide 1 opens with a summary and a "Next"-button that opens slide 4. All this works well. BUT when returning from slide 4 to slide 1, which in its properties is "Reset to initial state", the layer "Continue" opens and not the Base layer. We're not able to figure out why as we've never experienced this before. Bug og programmering mistake? Can anybody help? Thanks, Thomas

Changing the revisited state of a slide does not change the content of variables. They are designed to always maintain their value. From your description, it sounds as if there is a trigger to show layer Continue when the timeline starts on slide 1 if the two variables are true.

One possible solution might be to set the variables to false when the [return to slide 1] action is taken on slide 4. Be sure those triggers are BEFORE the"Jump to" trigger.
