Using one hot spot to go to different slides.

Mar 04, 2022

I am creating a game which has 4 categories, with 3 questions in each. I am trying to have users click one category using a hotspot. If they haven't clicked it before, they move to Question 1 of that category. If they have clicked it before, they move to Question 2 of that category, then Question 3. Can you have one hot spot programmed to go to different slides based on a condition? Once all the questions are clicked, can we show the results in each category?

If you use states, be careful how you write your conditions. When an object is clicked, it changes its state first, then goes to other triggers.

If you use states, you can't use hotspots, because they can't have states, but not using hotspots is no great loss. Use filled, completely transparent shapes instead.

Personally, using variables is more reliable than using states, and takes fewer triggers. With states, you need eight triggers for each object, with a numeric variable, five.

See the attached sample.
