Using states to determine slide completion
Dec 14, 2015
Hi there,
I am currently using states to determine if a slide (that has multiple layers) is complete. I added a trigger that allowed the next button to return to normal when all of the sections on the slide were visited.
Each layer has a continue button that returns the user back to the base layer.
At this point the triggers are working and the next button views and functions as normal once all of layers are visited. However if the user clicks on the continue button after all of the areas have been viewed, they are returned to the base slide and then the next button becomes disabled again.
I have moved the trigger location to the top of the list on the base slide. If I change the continue button it means that if they user clicks on the areas out of order then they will lose the next function as well.
Does anyone have suggestions? What am I missing?

My suggestion is that you don't depend on states for this. States work well in conditions, but not so well for triggering actions.
Look at the first slide of this project, I think it does what you are describing.
If not, maybe if you post your .story file someone here can take a look at it.
Thanks Walt,
I will give this a try as it looks like what I am trying to do.
I think I was over complicating things when I was trying to add variables as well as change the states.
