unable next button
Nov 27, 2017
Hi all
I would disable the next button untill the end of timeline of a specific object in every slides, but I would to leave enabled the next button when the slide is already visited.
I' m able to lock the next button but not to unlock the button for visited's slides; I have tryed to configure the slide properties but it doesn't work.
could someone help me?

Create a T/F variable named something like ThisSlideVisited1 with a unique name for each slide.
Create a trigger to set ThisSlideVisitedX to True when the timeline ends on each slide.
Create a trigger to disable NEXT button when timeline starts on slide unless ThisSlideVisitedX = True.
Set timeline to restore initial state on revisit.
Remember that the variable on each slide must have a unique name.
as said by you i have created a variable with default value sets on false
variable is used as below described:
• Used by a slide trigger on "1.1 Untitled Slide" in "1 Untitled Scene"
Trigger Text: "Set ThisSlideVisited equal to True When the timeline ends "
• Used by a slide trigger condition on "1.1 Untitled Slide" in "1 Untitled Scene"
Trigger Text: "Change state of the next button to Disabled When the timeline starts If ThisSlideVisited is equal to False "
but it doesn't work.
what do you mean with Set timeline to restore initial state on revisit, that the slide properties must be set on reset on initial state when revisited?
Hi Federico - click the Slide Properties in the bottom right and ensure this following options is set.
Hi Wendy, slide's properties are already set as indicated by you.
if i set "Change state of the next button to Disabled When the timeline starts If ThisSlideVisited is equal to False" next button is disabled but when timeline ends the button is still disabled
if i set "Change state of the next button to Disabled When the timeline starts If ThisSlideVisited is equal to True" next button is not disabled
It will be the trigger order.
See attached sample if this is what you need
now next button works right but when i revisit the slide the button is still enable; i have tryed with any slide's config :(
Sorry I must misunderstand you..
Do you want on first visit the Next button disabled then when timeline ends the next button enabled, then I come back and Next button should be enabled or disabled?
sorry Wendy, probably i'm not so clear :P
when i come back i would next button should be enabled
That is what my file does Federico. See this video and tell me if it is what you want.
Great!! i have copied your trigger and now it works! many thanks
if i want apply this at any slide do i have to create variables for every slide?
Great Federico - glad that helped. Yes each variable must have a unique name.
ok many thanks!
