Text trigger not working

May 27, 2021

Having a hard time with change state of text trigger. Attached is the project. On slide 1.5 When you click on the "text options" the character changes states, what she says changes states, but the text bubble in the comic strip panel won't change (it stays blank). Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?

Hi, Erin,

I don't know why, but sometimes objects don't behave properly when there's no text in the Normal state. It's as it the object no longer exists to the triggers, even though you can see the object right there... 

The fix? Put some text in the Normal state. I created a new oval in the attached version of your file. It's got "..." in the Normal state, but the text is white, so it doesn't show on the slide. (Just using spaces would probably work, too.)

I edited your otherwise fine triggers so they control the new object. The slide now works as intended.
