Hi all. Is there a way to set a layer to start at second two and not at second zero when is showed depending on the state of a variable or a shape? for example something like if square 1 is visited (or if variable x is set to tue) then start at second two.
Thanks for your asnwer Jack but it's not what i'm looking for. try to imagine this scenario: base layer with two buttons B1 and B2 both set to show layer A but when I click B1 then layer A timeline starts in second zero but if I click B2 then layer A timeline starts in second 2. something closer to that is what i'm looking for.
It sounds like what you are wanting is a jump to second 2 of Layer A's timeline. Storyline does not support jumping to a point on the timeline. You could add your voice to those requesting it as a future feature.
A kludge workaround would be two layers A and B, with B identical to A, except for the first second.

Hi Hector,
Sure, to do this you need to add conditions to the 'show layer' triggers.
This is just something thrown together real quick, but you can do the same thing with your true/false variable.

Hi Hector,
Walt's spot on here - I'd look at making two layers.
