Using a Trigger Condition with Hovers

Jun 13, 2013

Greetings.

I have several items on a slide over which I want the learner to hover and read the descriptions.

Only after they have read all descriptions can they advance to the next slide.

How do I prevent them from advancing until they have hovered over all of the items?

I tried using a Trigger Condition that they cannot advance until all of the item states are Hover, but that isn't working. Is there a different state I should select other than Hover? I also tried Visited, but that didn't seem to do it either.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

I you can do this with variables

Put each desciption on a slide layer

For each slide layer add a variable default set to false and change the variable to true when time line starts.

The vairable therfore changes to true once the description has been seen

Then on your master slide on whatever you are using to trigger moving on only allow to move on if variable x =true and y=true etc.

Im happy to show you on your work if you attach it

I hope that helps

Hi April - welcome to Heroes!

You can achieve what you are trying to by using variables and triggers.

  1. Create a True/False variable for each item (i.e. Item1, Item2 etc.) and set the default value to False
  2. Add a trigger to adjust each variable to True when the user hovers the mouse over the respective item
  3. Add a trigger to the 'next' button trigger (this can either be the default player button or a custom button) to jump to the next slide when the user clicks on it on condition that Item1 AND Item2 etc. equal True

I hope this helps
