States & Trigger not functioning well
Jul 02, 2019

Hi,
I have a slide that has 3 boxes & when you click on one box, it displays a layer with information.
What I want:
- when a box is selected it shows "selected"
- when I click the next box, I want the previously selected box to show "visited" & the box I click to show "selected"
My problem:
I have states set up & triggers, I can get the box to show "selected" but not "visited" without clicking a second time on the box that is selected. If I click the "selected" box once it selects, it twice it shows visited.
I've attached the slide so that you can see exactly what I mean, it's hard to explain well.
Thank you in advance, for your assistance!

You have made it more difficult by using grouped objects. I really you would build inside of states and then use a button set to ensure that only one object can be selected
I'm new at using SL, so I'm uncertain as to what you mean by "build inside of states". Could you explain more or show me an example of what you mean, please?
Here's a tutorial that shows how to use the selected states and an idea with grouped objects.

Thanks Tom!
Is there a similar concept as a button set but for whole slides?
For example, if we have a slide that hides its "next" button until other slides are "visited".
Hello,
I tried your way Tom. Thanks for the useful tuto.
However I have a problem with textboxes. The text of the normal state is kept in the other states and overlaps with the other states specific layouts.
Why is that ? I attached the .story file. I don't see what I did wrong. Can you help ?
Thanks,
That was what I meant!

@Stass: with slides you'd need to use variables to track slides viewed and then you can control the states of the next buttons based on the variables.
@Berengere Here's a video that explains more about working with states and some options https://360.articulate.com/review/content/5724b191-6678-4758-b5b0-cbf8f764790e/review
