Apply an exit animation to your object. Assuming the exit animation is .75 seconds.
Adjust the object to exit the timeline at some point. Let's say it is set to end at 10 seconds.
Add a CUE point 1 second before, so add it at the 9 second mark.
Add a trigger to PAUSE the timeline when the timeline reaches cue point #1
Add a trigger to your button to RESUME the timeline when clicked. Make sure this button only appears right before it is needed, perhaps the 8 second mark.
That should do it. This means you can also apply any of the neat exit animations on that object.
I have quite similar question. How can I create learning path with motion path where when I click for example on icon it goes to next point and when it goes on specific point how to add pop out text?
Add triggers to PAUSE the timeline when the timeline for each of your ELF icons starts. That's 6 triggers. You can make the trigger on the first elf, then copy the trigger. Then click on each elf one at a time and paste... fast duplication of identical triggers on sequential objects.
Now add 6 layers, one for each elf. Like in step 1, add 6 triggers to show each layer when each of the 6 elf icon timelines start.
You have to plan the ORDER your triggers are listed. Let's look at the ELF1 triggers.
The second trigger listed is "PAUSE", that means everything stops, so the 4th trigger is never reached. Use the little arrow above to make it the second trigger. This would cause the layer to appear a millisecond before the base layer pauses.
FYI, this would also possibly make the Pause/Resume triggers unnecessary. You can set your layers to "pause the base layer timeline" in the LAYER settings. So just opening the 1st_point layer would pause the base. When the user closes the layer the base layer could resume on its own all the way to the next point, no need for the user to click again (they just clicked), you know?

Without a motion path?

Thank You in advance!
Thank You so much!
Have a great day!
One more thing - I added layer to each icon and added triggers, but the layer don`t pop out.
Could you take a look?

More food for thought. Less plumbing...
Thank You so much!
