Selecting multiple states for objects

Jan 10, 2022

Hi I have 3 objects with 6 states for each object. is it possible to have all 3 objects to appear on the next slide with their selected state? I am using Drag and Drop to select chosen state.

Thanks

Create a variable for each object. One the drag and drop slide, set the appropriate variable to the current state of each object. (If the learner is allowed to change their mind and drag the object off after the original drop, you can save yourself a lot of headache by not setting the state variable until they are ready to move on. e.g. Set variable1 to State1 when user clicks NEXT if the state of Object 1 is State1, etc)

Then on the second slide set the object states: Change state of Object1 to State1 if Variable1 is State1 when timeline starts on this slide.

You will need 6 triggers (one for each state) for each object, on each slide.

Using a variable is the only way to pass that information from one slide to another.
