States on shapes controlled by variables and triggers - not working...
Aug 01, 2018

In my course, I have shapes (Ovals) in a menu slide with states 'Normal, 'Hover' and 'Seen'. I want the 'Seen' state to appear then the learner reaches certain points in the course.
For instance, in a video slide, I want the learner to watch at least 30 sec of the video before the state of 'Oval 01' changes to 'Seen'. So I created a true-false variable called 'Seen_Video_2A' to control this, which is initially set to 'False'. On the video slide, I have a trigger to adjust variable to 'True' when the timeline reaches 30 sec. On the menu slide, I have a trigger set to change the state of 'Oval 01' to 'Seen' when the variable changes.
See attached image and .story.
Can someone help me troubleshoot this, please?

If I change your Seen states to the built-in Visited states, it works correctly for me. I can see that your variables turn to True, so I'm not sure why your current triggers/states do not work.
Hi Maria,
I changed your triggers to occur on timeline start. For example:
Change state of Oval 01 to Seen When the timeline starts If Seen_Video_2A is equal to True.
Hi guys,
Thank you for your help! Russell I didn't even think of the timeline start as an option, that seems to be working great :-)
Thanks a million!
