I have added a freeform motion path to an object. To activitate the freeform motion path, I have set up a trigger to move the object when the user clicks a specific radio button. This works out properly, but the same freeform motion path is also activated when the timeline starts. I don't want the object to move until the trigger has been activated. How can I remove the motion at the start of the timeline?
Hi, Annemijn - Looks like you are getting help from Michael and Gary, but please feel free to update if you are all set or still need additional assistance. :)
Hi my base slide has a motion path set to a trigger to start when timeline starts, which works fine until you visit a layer and return to the base it won't run again. I want it to auto trigger each time the learner returns to the base layer. I have set the base and all layers to 'reset to initial state when revisited' but it won't fire off. What am I missing any thoughts.

Check your triggers, there is probably a motion path trigger attached to the object that was created when the motion path was first added.
I would have to agree with Michael on this one.
But, if that is not it, you can upload your .story file and we can take a look to see what the issue is.

Thanks for your help! I checked my triggers and there was a motion path trigger when the timeline starts, so that was the problem.
Hi, Annemijn -- Thanks for the update, and so glad to see you got the help you needed! :)

The slide does not count as revised when you close a layer because it is still on that same slide.
You either need to adda trigger to whatever hides the layer to fire the motion path again or instead of closing the layer just jump back to the slide
Thanks for the suggestion, Phil! :) Julie, please let us know if that will do the trick or if you still need assistance.
