State of dropped object
Jan 14, 2016
I am doing a course where the user is in a "library" setting. There is a bookshelf with several books to choose from. The user drag/drops a book on to a table. The slide changes and the user does some other interactions. When the user returns to the library to choose another book, I would like the original book that was drag/dropped to still be on the shelf with a state change (visited or hidden). My result so far is when the user returns to the library, the book is on the shelf with no state change. Im not sure how to make it stick...Please help

Hi Terry
You have to go to the slide settings and change the setting to "resume saved state". In this way, user will find the objects where he/she left.
Let me know if that's what you are looking for

That worked for the "hidden" state. Thankyou...The book would be located on the table when returning to the library. If I wanted the book to be back on the shelf but "visited" upon return, is there a way to do that?
You are welcome.
Yes there are some ways, you have to add some triggers/states and variables.
can you share your file ?
That's kinda what I thought. For now, I think I am satisfied with the "hidden" state. Thank you again.

Happy to help !
Hello again... after speaking with my stake holder, he wants to be able to revisit the book later if desired instead of it disappearing. Please advise how I can have the object dragged and dropped, but still be in the original location but state changed upon return to the slide. Thank you.
Hi Terry
you can simple achieve that by going in the settings of the slide and selecting "when revisiting "reset to initial state"
I am not sure, is that what you are asking?
Let me know if it helps

The last time i did that, the book "stayed on the table". This time it works like it is supposed to . Thank you!
You are welcome !
it happens sometime because of triggers or the placement of different objects on timeline.
I am glad that it worked
Cheers
I'm sorry. It's me again. I got the book to return to the original position after being dropped. But i cant get it to reflect a state change showing the user that it has been visited, but still allowing them to select again if they choose. I can send the file if necessary.
Hi Terry,
Perhaps you want to share your .story file here so that folks in the community could take a look at what you've got set up so far?
