I'm still trying to work my way around Articulate and am completely stumped. I have got 4 boxes that you can click on to go to different slides. I only want them to be able to click the 'next' button once they have gone through all 4 boxes. I thought that I would have had the states set up correctly but its not working. After clicking on the 4 boxes, nothing happens when you click next.
Can anyone see what I've done wrong in the screenshots?
try changing the trigger from 'when states are' to 'when timeline starts on that slide then add in the conditions that Button 1 = visited AND Button 2 = visited AND Button 3 = visited AND Button 4 = visited
Ohhhh thank you, I am getting closer. That seems to have worked as it is now taking me to the new scene however it means that when I click on the 4th box, it does not take you to those pages first, it just skips and goes straight to the next scene.
because Storyline built in states have specific actions sometimes you need to create a custom state and add triggers.
duplicate the visited state of each button and name it 'completed' - you should be able to do it to one button then fomat painter for the others
create a trigger to change state of button 1 to completed when user clicks button 1 - repeat this trigger for each button to change the state when clicked.
change the next button trigger conditions from button states = visited to the completed state you created.
hope this makes sense - shout out if you need help and it's easier if you share the story file - just use the grey 'add attachment' button at the bottom if the post.
Also Tash when you reply via email all your signature details are displayed - you can gone into the forum and select edit to delete them if you don't want them public.
Thank you so much Wendy! I think I'm a lot closer again. I think that I have followed your steps however it is now showing me the slide after clicking button 4 but not showing my new scene again
I took screenshots of everything that I did because I can't upload the document due to there being sensitive information in there.
Sorry what I mean to say is that the slide after Button 4 has a trigger to go back to that "Main Menu" that has the 4 buttons so that it can go across to the new scene but it just stops on the slide after the Main Menu and isn't heading back.
Below is the slide it is now stopping on even though the trigger for clicking the next number is "Main Menu"
always hard when you can't share the file so see if the attached sample helps - hopefully I have captured what you are trying to do - if not let me know.

Ok try this.
