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
Thanks - that makes sense. Except I don't want the value to change when the timeline starts, but rather after they have hovered over each item. Is that feasible?
Hi April - welcome to Heroes!
You can achieve what you are trying to by using variables and triggers.
I hope this helps
