I am trying to make a new layer (a menu) appear when I'm in a recorded test mode. I added the trigger on a button/picture for the appearance of the layer but it returns an incorrect click message (since I did click in the wrong spot, as I clicked on the menu button and not on the right place for the test).
Any way to fix that?? --> Have my button make the layer appear even if im in a "multiple choice" slide in test mode.
Edit: The trigger works fine when I want to jump to another slide. The problem is only when I want to hav a new layer appear
Hi Ryan! Would you be able to share your .story file so that we can visually see what you are describing and someone will be better able to assist if this is possible.
Thanks for you message Leslie. Here is .story file with my problem. Once you go in the preview mode simply try to click on "Click here to open menu" button to understand it all :)
If anyone has an idea on how to make that layer/menu show I would really appreciate it!
I think it's because you have set up a hotspot quiz slide. So if the user clicks anywhere on the slide except the correct hotspot area they will get the 'incorrect response' layer.
I added a layer called 'click for menu' with a trigger to show that layer when the timeline starts just so you could see that it does work but not on the base layer.
I'm sure someone will chime in with a workaround for you.
Thank you for your message! Yes this is the exact problem I'm facing. I already found a work around which is to use the "hover over" trigger but I would really prefer to click on the menu button to make my layer appear (Since this is what I do in the rest of my simulation)
you had the question set up to submit on click not submit using the player submit button. I changed a couple of things - added a variable but it might get you started.
Hey Wendy, it works like a charm in slide one thanks you so much! Now I just dont quite understand how you did it so that I can reproduce it. I tried putting the same triggers in slide two but it does not work. Would you mind telling me what I am missing?
I have updated the story file and done a quick video of what I did.
You need to reset the 'menu' variable back to false when the learner clicks the submit button so that it is ready for the trigger on start of next slide.
Hope this makes sense and good luck with your project.
Thanks a lot for your solution Wendy and the explanations were great I understand how you did it now! I could definetly use that but I would really have liked no to have a submit button after the user clicks, i think it makes it more intuitive for the navigation. Would someone have an idea how to do that?
You could try adding the triggers to the continue buttons on the correct / incorrect feedback layers. The issue is if you don't have the interaction submitted, as soon as the user touches the slide, the incorrect layer displays.

Any incredible idea from the community ? :)
