I'm been trying to utilize the Progress Tracker Storyline template from community user Nicole Legault, and I've added additional lessons, but I can't get the check boxes to consistently appear for each of the additional lessons once they have been visited. I love the template, and think it's a great option for not using a menu bar, but I can't seem to get what variable and/or triggers I'm missing. Please help.
Paul, You have to add new variables for each of the menu options. Right now you have 3 variables being used 6 times each, you need to add new variables which you reference for each of the different menu items.
Hi Paul! It looks like you just need a few more triggers on that table of contents slide to check the values of your variables and change each object state when appropriate. Like this one that's already in there just adjust the objects and variables - one for each button on the slide.
After you create all of your new variables *mentioned above* you will need to create slide triggers for the slides. This is your slide triggers for the slides that the main menu links to, you need to copy and paste this to the other slides and adjust accordingly for the appropriate variables.
This is one of the slide triggers on your main menu, you need to copy this trigger to your other menu buttons, and adjust the specifics to check the status of the appropriate variable.
Yes, I've tried setting the additional triggers there (I'm assuming I would need 1 for each of the buttons, like with the first three), but I think I'm having trouble with the variables. When I add them, they either appear checked without visiting the pages, or continue to check just the first lesson boxes.
Thanks for posting your question here in the community Paul!

Michael, Thank you, that's exactly what I was wanting it to do. I'll reverse engineer it to see what I was missing. Thanks, Nicole. I'll check out your screencast as well. Now I just need to figure out how to make answering each of the questions on the Exercise slides a requirement before clicking the submit button. Huge help everybody! Great forum.
Nicole's video was a very big help. It not only provided an answer, but showed me where I was going wrong so I actually learned something. She just needs to talk and user her mouse a bit slower!

Paul, see attached a file with all the triggers and variables you need.
