Hi, I'm a total newbie and am perusing the tutorials.
I loved adding 4 buttons with the rollover and visited states onto one of my intro slides so I my learners could visit the 4 modules in any order. However, if I create a Trigger that says to show a layer or jump to slide when all states are visited, it goes there as soon as the last button is CLICKED - and doesn't go to the module first.
Would using a variable or triggers be the most elegant way to ensure the final module is presented BEFORE the learner sees the "Congratulations, you are finished" slide?
Hi Victoria, you've almost answered your own question with your statement of what you want to do. I've used this strategy several times, though with adult learners, I don't force them to do something before they move on to something else. As you can see in the attached screenshot, I've created a trigger that changes the state of some instructions that started out being hidden. The trigger changes the state to normal when the 3 buttons have been visited. Hope this helps,
Thank you, Donna. The problem I'm having is that as soon as the last button (to go to the final module) is clicked, it is registering as "visited" and showing the" Congratulations, you're finished" slide, but not going to the scene that they should visit BEFORE getting the Congratulations slide.
Hmmm, Victoria, could it be as simple as changing where the trigger goes if the condition is met or maybe it's the sequence of your triggers? If you want to add your .story file as an attachment, I'd be glad to take a look.
You may want to have the jump to congrats slide trigger happen when the timeline starts if all the items are visited. This will make it happen when they revisit the slide after jumping to all of the modules.
I took a screenshot. If I go to the Trigger I can Jump to the Congratulations slide when I start the Timeline when [object] - but what is the object? Do I need to add conditions?
Using the when timeline begins, the object would be the slide 1.3, then it would be on condition that all 4 objects are in Visited state. You can use the add attachment button here in the post if you want to share here and not through email.

Hi Donna,
I posted a reply to you several times and the attachment was too large to upload.
:-(

Aha!! IT WORKED!!! HURRAY!
I wasn't sure of the object and then I figured the conditions. Thank you so much!
Big thanks to both Emily and Donna both for your help. :-))))
Glad this worked Victoria!
