The NEXT button doesn't appear when you go back to the previous slide

Mar 23, 2021

Hello! First of all, I'm sorry for my English... I hope I can explain well.

I have a slide where the NEXT button is hidden when the timeline is started. It is necessary to visit all the indicated elements so that the NEXT button appears and the student can move through the scene. Once you go forward, if you want to go back, the next button doesn't appear. I've tried several types of configuration but I can't find the solution. Can someone help me?

Thank you so much!

Hi, Christina,

Here's how to ensure that the Next button only hides the first time the user visits the slide: 

  • Create a T/F variable with an initial value of False
  • Add a condition to the trigger that hides the Next button. Make the condition that the variable = False. 
  • Add a trigger that adjusts the value of the variable to True when the student completes the interaction. Based on your description, you could probably duplicate the trigger you use for showing the Next button. Then edit the copy to adjust the variable.

By the way, I suggest changing the Next button to Disabled instead of Hidden. That keeps it in its place in the Player. And that keeps the Prev button in its place.

Oh, and there's no need to apologize for your English. It is quite good!
