state-dependent triggers...do they work?

Have a look at the attached file and see if that provides some insight. I change the state of a textbox, based on the state changes of a rectangle.

Hi Michael,

Thanks... I actually did the same thing in my story but it didn't take. I'm not sure why. I'll keep trying.

I've had issues with using triggers on state changes too. What I've done is change the language. 

Ex:  Change state of Y if X is equal to Normal  

I  would change that to

Change state of Y if X is not equal to Selected.

For some reason if though logically they would be the same (in this case it would be for buttons or objects with a selected state) it the first option doesnt work but the second one does. 

I 'm having the same problem with the Normal State not being identified properly.  Other states works fine.

I haven't had much luck using the Normal state in conditions. I always use the negation, e.g. is not Normal or is Selected as Jerson suggested.

Hello Brittany!

Please confirm that you are working locally as described here.

You could always share your .story file here if you would like us to take a look.

@Jerson, thanks for the suggestion! I will try that. 

@Emily, I am working on a remote machine so that might be part of the problem. I don't really have another option at the moment, but I might try and do finishing touches on a real PC.
