State of menu item needs to change
Mar 27, 2024
hi all,
hope someone can help me.
In scene 1 I have a menu with 6 clickable buttons, each button brings you to another scene. The state of that button in scene 1 menupage, needs to change to "Visited" as soon as the last page of that other scene has appeared on the screen. By clicking on "Go Back to Menu" on that last page of the other scene, the user comes back to the menu page in Scene 1 and then the state of the button should be changed to "Visited" so a user can see what has been done and what still needs to done.
I know it has to do with variables and True/False, but don't know how to do that. Does anyone have an example of this?

This post has instructions about how to use T/F variables and triggers with conditions to control the buttons on your custom-menu slide. It also includes a demo file.
It’s worth the effort to learn about variables and trigger conditions, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s the User Guide info:
By the way, you don't want to use the Visited state in these types of situations. An object with that built-in state will automatically change to Visited when clicked. This post describes the built-in functionality that comes with the built-in states.
