States not changing after variable change
Dec 20, 2016
Hi everyone,
I ran out of tables I could smash my head into, so here goes:
I'm currently working on a topic where I want to allow the user to explore (avoiding linear learning flow and supporting exploration instead). I need to show the user where they've been and where they still need to go. I'm controlling this using variables. I have a landing page with 4 images (two visible in attached example). When ever the user clicks one of the images he/she is taken to a specific slide. When the timeline on that slide starts a value is changed. When the user revisits the landing page (they can't avoid that) a hidden image should be set to state normal depending on the value of a variable. It doesn't work (although it should). I have tried with true/false and the attached example both uses value = done and value greater than 0. Still doesn't work. The value of the variable is written on the landing page and it does change as programmed - but the states of the hidden images do not. Thoughts?

Hi Michael
I'm lending you a table - see if the attached is working how you want
It is working! So the issue was to do it from when the timeline starts?
Thanks for lending me a table ;-)
Yes - you are trying to track the states on the main slide, so by doing when timeline starts it picks up what has happened on the visited slides and makes the change.
Good luck with your project!
