I have built this course and am struggling to get the triggers and states right to a) change the state of the buttons to completed, and stay that way, & b) change the state of the next button to normal when the variable is equal to true (when all button states are changed to completed/true)
I am so confused and cannot work out where I have gone wrong... I have checked the triggers on the associated slides/layers and am befuddled completely :(
I have attached my file for someone to look at and let me know where my errors are please.
take a look at your file and see if it's working how you want. I only worked on the first two menu items as an example.
Variables are global and you only had one variable slideprogress that you were trying to use to control all those menu items - once triggered to true stays true - unless you reset it it won't work.
So, I created two True/False variables (default to False) for Intro and another one for Safe Design.
On the Intro slide I set a trigger to 'adjust variable intro to true when timeline starts on Intro'.
On the Safe Design slide I set a trigger to 'adjust variable safedesign to true when timeline starts on Safe Design.
On the menu slide I deleted your triggers that were referencing slideprogress for the Next button and added the following:
Change state of Intro to completed when timeline starts on Menu slide on condition that Intro=true
Change state of SafeDesign to completed when timeline starts on Menu slide on condition that safedesign=true
Change state of Next button to normal when timeline starts on Menu slide on condition that Intro=true and safedesign=true.
If this sample works how you want and you are going to use this method you will need to create a T/F variable for each menu item, add a trigger on each slide and modify the Next button trigger on the Menu slide to include in the conditions all the true variables.
Just run through it now accessing just the first two menu items to see how it works.

Hope this makes sense - shout out if it doesn't.
