Hello, Is there a way to trigger the timeline to end before the learner can click to advance to the next slide? I have activities built in that the learner needs to complete in a compatible workbook prior to self-advancing. I tried to add a pause slide, but that's not addressing the stop action on advancement by the learner. The next button is enabled by User on the slide. I attached a snapshot of my current triggers.
You can set the timeline to pause at .5 sec before the end of the timeline. But if you need to use the end of the timeline to initiate triggers, then you will need something to click to restart it, when the learner is ready to continue.
Note that if the Next button is active, clicking it will cause a jump even if the timeline is paused.
I think I would pause the timeline, then after the learner has interacted with everything, show a button to continue, which would resume the timeline, which would jump to the next slide when the timeline ends.
Thank you for your feedback Walt! I'll need to rethink this interaction as it occurs on several slides throughout the course. I like the clean streamlined use of the integrated navigation on the modern player and I am not sure about adding additional navigation into the slide view. Food for thought. Thanks again!
I add conditions to many of my next buttons to ensure that a user has clicked on an interaction before they are allowed to continue on to the next slide. If they do not, then a slide layer is displayed to notify them to complete an action or view all of something before they can proceed. This way, you do not need to rely on the timeline.
You can set conditions to objects that have been disabled or visited or any other custom state, as well as waiting until media on the slide completes such as audio.
The attached examples has 4 conditions that all 4 buttons on the slide have to be clicked on and in a visited state before the learner can advance. If any of the conditions fail, then storyline flows down to the next trigger which shows the slide layer "Slide Check"
