Showing layers when revisiting a main menu slide

May 22, 2020

Hello,

I have created an e-learning module with three sections, and upon completing each section I have routed back to the main menu slide. I have set different layers on the main menu slide so that the section the learner just completed is greyed out, and set up a number variable that should mean those layers are shown correctly. However when a user revisits the slide after completing the section, it simply plays the original audio and shows the base layer instead of my layers. How do I fix this?

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for your reply - I'm playing around with the file as we speak and have just deleted my triggers - here's what triggers I had

Main menu: Set CompletionVariable to 1 when timeline starts on this slide
Main menu: Show layer 'Data Protection Principles visited' when timeline starts on this slide if CompletionVariable = 2
Data Protection Principles (last slide): Set CompletionVarible to value 2 when timeline starts on this slide
Data Protection Principles (last slide): Jump to slide Main Menu when user clicks or swipes next

So what I wanted was to loop back to the main menu slide, but have it display the 'first' layer so to speak. The player is set to 'automatically decide' what to do when revisiting the slide

So the main menu slide goes to 3 different slides (sections) and when the user returns to the main menu slide they should see a different layer?

Exactly, but it doesn't work even though I believe my variables are set correctly on both the main menu and the last slide of each section

See if this rough sample helps you. I've used True/False variables instead of number. Not sure what happens once all 3 sections are completed but might help sort it out.
