Making a menu slide in and out on click
Jun 15, 2017
Hey Everybody,
I am breaking my head over this. I have a leftside navigation I want to use. Learners should be able to click on it to make it move left and click on it again to reappear.
So basically, I want an object to move on one motion path when clicked and another when clicked the next time around.
It sounds simple enough, but any trigger I am using to change variables or states won't work as people would click the same item to trigger the change.
Not sure any of this makes sense, but if anybody has a simple solution I'd be very happy. :)
Cheers, Niels

Add 1 more T/F variable to indicate if the menu is "open" or "closed". Add an action to update the variable after each motion path completes. Be sure your motion paths are using a "relative starting point". Move the menu on the appropriate path IF the variable is appropriately true or false.
Your triggers should look something like this:
Move object on motion path 1 when the user clicks If open is equal to false.
Set Open equal to true when motion path 1 animation completes
Move object on motion path 2 when the user clicks If open is equal to true.
Set Open equal to false when motion path 2 animation completes
Adjust when motion path completes...!!! D'oh!
Thanks Owen, that does the trick. :)
Happy to have helped.
