Schedule a state change in an object so that it occurs a specified interval after a user does something

Jul 18, 2020

For example, I want to change the state of a textbox from "hidden" to "normal" 30 seconds after the user clicks on a hotspot that plays a 30 second audio file. 

Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

Based on the example you provided. It is doable if you set specific actions on each trigger related to the elements inside it.

Try to upload any multimedia file you want to use. Afterward, create a hotspot that will trigger the multimedia file to be played once the users click it.

For the Multimedia File Trigger settings,
Action: Change state of
Object: The object you want to change the state
State: Normal

When: Select Media completes
Media: the multimedia file

Afterwards, Create the Textbox and change the initial state to Hidden.

Alternatively, if you want to use a specific time to show any objects from the hidden state the When "the timeline reaches" can be used then indicate the time when the object will show on the Time field.
