Triggers no longer functioning correctly since updates

Feb 14, 2020

Good morning fellow creators, 

I had the attached example previously working. However, since the most recent updates, the triggers have stopped functioning.

 

There are 4 text input at the bottom of the slide if they (the first one) is blank and the learner clicks next it shows layer 1 and adds 1 to a variable count. If they do it a second time (Still blank) it shows layer 2 and then goes onto the next slide. If they enter the text and they (first input) isn't blank it adds 2 to the variable count and moves to the next slide. 

 

Since the update, it's ignoring layer one and only showing layer 2. 

 

I've rebuilt the slide, and triggers and still coming up trumps. Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Shannon,

Thanks for contacting us to share what you were running into with your project and for sharing a sample .story file for us to take a look.

As it stands, your file seems to be working as designed:

  • the initial variable set at 1
  • leave the name blank and 1 is added to when layer one opens
  • the variable is now 2 which then jumps to the next slide

All of these triggers are happening in the background and with only one next button.

Using some conditions can be helpful as well as triggers to adjust value vs. when the timeline starts. Here's what I did:

  1. Set the value of the variable to have an initial value of 0
  2. Adjusted the triggers on the layers to be by button click vs. when the timeline starts.
  3. Set a condition on Layer 2 to move to the next slide when the value is 2 or higher.

My sample file is attached. Let me know if this is the behavior you were looking for.

Hi Brian,

Feel free to take a look at the information I shared with Shannon above.

Let me know what you're seeing in your project and with your permission, I'd be happy to take a look at your project file as well. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
