The object doesn't follow the trigger I set

May 10, 2018

Hi, 

My purpose of this design is to let learner click 'Go' first; then the truck will go (direction: down, right, and then down). However, before learner click 'Go', the truck goes when timeline starts. Also, after learner click 'Go', the truck goes with the trigger I set, excluding the last one. 

How to set the truck go after clicking 'Go' in order? And why the last part of the truck doesn't show?

Please help me. Thank you so much!

Try changing this trigger

 

to "When user clicks go"

Rather than triggering truck movement on when the previous truck changes state, it might give you more flexibility and reliability to have each truck become visible and move when the previous turck's animation finishes.

Part of the truck is black and is moving on a black road, so it makes it hard to see. Otherwise, all the truck is there.

Hi, 

I am facing the similar situation... Can anyone help?

The design is to click 'GO', then the rectangle is hidden and the truck shows up and follow the moves one by one. However, truck 2 and 3 showed when the truck 1 triggered. (Please see the attached storyline)

Another question is that I don't want the 'NEXT' to show up at the bottom. I removed the player trigger, but can't remove the 'NEXT' button. (Please see the attached storyline and screenshot)

Thanks!

It's not your fault; a lot of people are fooled by "when state of XX is.." It sounds like it should be "When state of XX becomes.." and if that's how they had written the program, it would work great. But they didn't, and so it doesn't.

The best thing to do is to change the state of truck 2 to visible when motion path 1 on truck 1 finishes, and move truck 2 on its motion path when motion path on truck 1 finished, etc.

Click the gear icon below the layer panel, and you can set the properties of each slide, including whether it has a next button or not. Or you can go to the player and set the Next button on or off for all slides.

Hi Walt, 

I changed the trigger, and it half-works. :-)

When truck 1's motion path finished, truck 2 moves. And when truck 2's motion path finished, truck 3 moves. However, truck 2 and 3 are there when the slide start instead of appearing before the previous truck is hidden. I have a screenshot as attached. Could you please help to feedback? Thank you so much. 

Thanks! I found where to set the next button.
