Topic Icons visited
Jun 23, 2016
Hello,
I'm creating a course that allows learners to choose which topic they would like to learn about by having 2 topic icons listed on a slide. Once they click the icon, it takes them into a section about that specific topic. Once the learner is done, it takes them back to the topic icon slide.
I would like to have the icon (which is a picture, not a shape) be greyed out once that subject has been covered. I also would like to create a trigger to know when both topics have been covered and have a closing "congratulations you've completed both" slide to appear at the end.
Thanks,
Zach

I think you can add a state to your picture and then recolor the picture in that new state. Look for Recolor in the Picture Tools format, and choose the greyed out one.
You can create variables, like Activity1Complete (true/false), and then a trigger to change the variable from false to true when the criteria is met. Add another trigger to change the state of your image from Normal to the greyed out state you made when the variable changes.
Here is a sample that does that. Look at the Mixed, or Free navigation.
Thanks Walt, I was able to figure it out and get it to work like I wanted! It took a while to understand all the variables, but I finally got it!
If you understand all those variables, you'll have a strong grasp of using variables for navigation.
Glad you're good to go.
Hi Zachary,
Glad you got the help you needed here - and variables are no easy matter for the most of us when we start. You could find information here on using variables and hope that helps!
This is the most helpful response EVER!!!!! the amount of interaction people share but never tell us how it is done is a joke.
You have saved me days of work and this is the first time I am using this software.
Hi Walt
I have been trying to replicate the interaction in the file which you have uploaded but I am failing :(
I understand that you have added multiple methods of interaction in one .story but this is making it hard for me to follow as I cant see what I am doing wrong.
the issue that I am having Is that my End button keeps on appearing through the whole slide.
it is possible for you to split the mixed interaction slide into a new story so that I can link the variables and see where I am going wrong?
any help is really appreciated.
Thanks
K
Kay,
It depends on the initial state of the end button being set to Hidden, so check if you have done that.
Here is a version with only the Mixed interaction.
