Trigger doesn't "overwrite" trigger with conditions
Mar 16, 2015
Hi all, I'm using various triggers on a slide to change the status of different forms (i.e. normal, selected, disabled). Some triggers include conditions, such as: [1] change status of object A to selected, when user clicks, [condition] when status of object B is not selected.
Well, this works quite fine. But when the user clicks another button afterwards wich triggers the following: [2] "change status of object A to disabled, when user clicks", nothing happens until the user clicks a further button, which chances the status of object B to not selected, and then clicks again to trigger action [2].
May it be possible, that trigger [2] is not able to "overwrite" trigger [1] which includes the condition? When action [2] is triggered before action [1] everything works fine. I would be really grateful for any way out of this dilemma.
Thanks in advance,
Christine

Hello Christine,
It may be easier to help troubleshoot if we could see the .story file. Could you attach it here?
Dear Emily,
one of my fantastic colleagues managed to solve the issue this morning. :-) The whole functionality was affected by the phenomenon, described in this article on the integrated disabled status:
http://de.articulate.com/support/storyline-2/how-the-built-in-disabled-state-works-sl2
Our solution: we added a trigger to the existing one:
1. change status to normal when user clicks [additional trigger]
2. change status to disabled when user clicks
Thanks for the update Christine!
Glad you got this fixed.
