Toggle help

Jan 12, 2023

Hi! I'm using Storyline 360 and trying to follow all the various articles about toggling, but it's still not working.

I'm showing a layer upon hovering over a hotspot on the base. There is audio on the layer, but I'd like the user to choose if they'd like to hear it (hence, the audio off/on toggle).

I've set up my variable to default as "false" (audio OFF), but when I click the button in preview, A) it doesn't change states and B) the trigger to play the audio on the layer doesn't fire.

Please see the screen shots below for the variables and triggers I have set up.

What am I doing wrong?

Base layer with toggle states and trigger to adjust the variable

Conditional trigger on Layer to play audio if Audio is ON

Variable setup

Layer properties indicating to restart the timeline when revisiting and to pause the timeline (audio) on the base layer

The usage of the variable AudioOn shows that the slide that uses it has two triggers, both of which toggle it. Thus when you click it, it is toggled twice, and remains in the false state.

Rename the "Play" state of the button to "Selected".

Walt, thank you for the reply. Please see the video... It's acting strangely and I don't know why! Any thoughts on this?
