States of Objects not changing on trigger

Hi Sue! Welcome to Heroes!

Instead of changing the state of the shape to 'Hidden' when the user clicks it, have you considered changing the state to 'Visited'? The visited state could be 100% transparent, or 'No Fill', so that it has the same effect as 'Hidden'. 

I put together a really quick sample Storyline file to show you exactly what I mean. I hope this helps!

Is it possible that the text box is intercepting the clicks before the shape? Can you attach at least those slides here? Sometimes it helps if we can actually handle the offending objects.

Thanks Alyssa, 

I will try that now. 

Hi Walt, 

I was wondering if the problem might relate to that. I've attached the slides here. Thanks for your help. 

Sue,

When the trigger to jump is executed, it cuts off the execution of any further triggers. It makes sense, because the system is on a new slide, and can't read the rest of these triggers. Change the order of these two triggers, and you will be fine.

Hi Sue! Looks like Walk and I were looking into your file at the same time. :)

I did the same thing to your triggers that Walt suggested. Also, I removed the 'Visited' states on all of your shapes because changing the state to 'Hidden' when the user clicks the shapes negates the need for the 'Visited' state.

Take a look at the attached file, and let me know if this works for you!

Ah great Walt, 

I actually didn't realise that the order of the triggers mattered. That's brilliant. It will save me lots of time in the future. 

Thanks so much for your help, 

Sue

That's great, thank you Alyssa, 

I really appreciate the time you took to do this. As I said to Walt, I hadn't realised that the order of the triggers mattered but that is great to know for the future. 

Thanks again, 

Sue
