Variables and triggers
Jan 08, 2018
Hi guys - I have no doubt someone knows this - such a great community to tap into!
I have one slide with 11 graphics - I want the user to click on each graphic, which in turn then opens a layer with more information. They return to the main slide by clicking on a hide layer button and continue until they have clicked on each graphic - counter variable added (11), everything is working well. Btw, the clicking on graphics is random so I cannot add a 'show layer after [certain layer is shown]'.
However... after the last layer of information, I would like them to return to the main slide at the count of eleven, *then* have the final 'you're finished' layer to appear (so does it need to count one more? how does it do that on a layer?). I cannot work out for the life of me as to how the last layer will show, before the final 'you're done' layer displays. I have tried all the variable (equals to, etc). nothing is working. Hope this makes sense? :| Any help is very much appreciated.. thank you!

One potential solution could be to add a trigger to each of the close buttons on your 11 popups.
This new trigger could hide the current layer and show the final layer if your variable counter is equal to or greater than 11.
Giving it a go David :) Thank you so much for helping!
No, I'm not getting it at all! If I create a trigger for each of the close buttons then what is the trigger and variable for the main slide David :|
If you can share your file I'm happy to have a look.
Hi Alison
hope this will solve your issue
Thanks David and Sameer - thank you so much for doing that... it was a little off the mark - as I need the final layer to show after the count is 11. I will upload the file - please excuse me for now, I haven't been well today .. :|
Alison,
I modified Sameer's story a little bit. There are two scenes. One advances when the learner closes the last extra information layer. The other goes back to the slide base and lets the learner click to advance to the final layer.
