Triggers and Variables
Feb 18, 2014
Not sure if this is possible.
On my Intro slide I (scene 1) have 6 buttons (in hidden state).
In scene 2 I have 4 slides with custom Next/Previous buttons. On the 4th slide I have a slide trigger that when the timeline ends on this slide, it adjusts a variable M1Complete from false to true. (initial state of variable is false).
On my intro slide on the button with a hidden state I have a slide trigger to change the state of button 1 to normal when the variable M1Complete is set to true.
My logic is flawed as it is not working. The idea of what I am trying to do is once the user has viewed the 4 slides, the intro slide will display a button that tells them scene 2 is complete.
Cheers Tee.
ps sorry this realised that this maybe on the wrong forum.

That all sounds correct.
So Buttons are set to Hidden when timeline starts on the Intro/Home slide.
You should also have another trigger on the that change the Button to Normal based upon the value of the variable.
Is this what you have so far ?
Hi Christine
I've attached a demo that does something similar.
There are 4 buttons, only the first of which is visible as this launches scene 1. The other 3 are hidden.
Click the button ... click Next through the 4 slides. The last one set Scene1Complete = True. Click Next to return to menu.
Button 1 will now show as Completed (a custom state with a tick icon), and Button 2 will be Normal (as opposed to Hidden).
Does this help?
One thing you might be doing is triggering the state change on the button (on Intro slide) to only work when the button's timeline starts. What you need to do is ensure it triggers when the slide's timeline starts.
Hey many thanks to Trav and Simon for the excellent support. I have it working all so all good.
Cheers Tee.
Thanks Christine for the update, and I'm glad Simon and Trave were able to help you out here!
