Trigger Help
Jul 21, 2017
Hi Everyone,
Still working in Storyline version 1. Having trouble with a trigger that I'm not sure what I did wrong here. It worked correctly the first time I previewed the scene but then I made a small tweak and now the error layer isn't showing up if the user clicks next without first viewing another layer. Any Suggestions?

Add a condition to the Jump to next slide trigger: "If Button 1 - .....'s state is equal to..." (I guess you are using the button's Visited state as a condition?)
Hi Taryn, it looks like you'll need a condition for the "Jump to next slide" trigger too. Right now, it probably reads the first trigger, displays the layer in a split second, and then reads the next trigger to move on to the next slide. There isn't anything keeping it from reading the second trigger and moving on.
So it looks like the trigger would be something like:
Let me know if that makes sense!
So it works when I preview the slide itself, but not the scene as a whole. Is that why I need a condition?
Thanks Everyone!
Nope, adding the condition didn't help. It's peculiar to me in that it's working in the slide preview but not the scene preview.
Taryn, would you be able to share the file, or at least just the slide or scene, or maybe screenshots of the full triggers in the Trigger Wizard for both the "Show layer Error Layer" and "Jump to Next slide" triggers?
When you preview just one slide, it doesn't queue up any other slides, so there's no next slide to go to, and it will leave your layer up.
When you preview the scene, it has that other slide to go to. The layer did probably go up, but as Rachel said, it went up then immediately jumped to the next slide so you couldn't see it.
I feel silly. Just getting the screenshot to show you helped me see my mistake. My jump to next slide trigger had the condition stated incorrectly. Thank You!
We've all been there. :-) Glad you were able to find the culprit!
