Triggers and Variables

May 19, 2021

I have seen several discussions about Triggers/Variables/States. To be honest, they are driving me crazy! I feel like I have them in correctly, in fact one of them works, but the others don't. I have looked at the one that works versus the ones that don't, but I'm missing something. 

I need to ensure the user clicks through all the buttons before moving to the next slide. I have the States, Variable and Triggers set, but they are working. If you look at slide one, it seems to be working. The user must click on the button to hear the tutorial. The third slide, I am not so lucky. What am I missing?

Hi, Bill,

You didn't upload the file, so it's hard to troubleshoot. Best guesses/most common mistakes:

  • There's something wrong with the trigger order. (They execute in order.)
  • The variable isn't being adjusted as expected. (During development, it helps to put a variable reference on the slide so you can verify that it adjusts correctly.) 
  • Conditions are connected with "AND" when they should be connected with "OR," or vice versa.
