I'm having an issue on a menu page where some of the triggers work once a variable is equal to true but others don't. I'm trying to get the bus to travel from stop to stop and shine its headlight on the stop once the previous content has been viewed.
Since you're using the set up of "when timeline states" I think you'll want to set your slide properties to "reset to initial state" as here is how each of the options will behave:
Resume saved state: Use this option if you want the slide to always remember its previous state. In other words, this option lets learners pick up where they left off when they leave the slide and come back to it later.
Reset to initial state: Use this option if you want the slide to always reset to its initial state when learners return to it. It'll restart from the beginning of its timeline, and interactive objects will return to their initial states.
Automatically decide: This is the default option. It means Storyline will decide whether to resume or reset the slide based on the objects it contains. Here's the logic: If the slide has only simple objects and/or audio but no interactivity, Storyline resets the slide to the beginning of its timeline. However, if the slide contains interactive elements, such as buttons or other objects that have a visited/selected state, Storyline resumes the slide where it left off previously.

Hi Natalie,

Have a look at the attached file and see if that's what you wanted. I switched a few triggers around.
Michael, this is exactly what I wanted. Do you remember which triggers you switched around? I must have changed the order 10 times.
Hi Natalie! You can open two instances of Storyline and do a side-by-side comparison. That may be helpful :)
