I am looking to design something like the following. I want to have all parts clickable by the user if the object for them to jump on is free. The object needs to be able to jump either 1 space or 2 depending on position.
but I want to create it with the different planets so students will have to put it in order to then make a continue button activate. Is it possible to create in storyline 3? I am working in 3 because that is what my college bought for me to create an educational intervention game for my dissertation.
I've never created anything quite like that in Storyline, but I think it would be possible using states, triggers, and (possibly) variables. Here are some tutorials to get you started:
As Allison said, you can control motion easily enough with variables to determine whether or not something is allowed to move or not. Check out the attached example of a simple puzzle box where pieces can move left or right or up or down but only if the space they are moving to is open. I admit that I did use one small piece of JavaScript to perform a simple calculation but that was just a personal choice. The same calculation could be done with triggers.
Ok here is what I have come up with so far. I got rid of the animations. I set each ball to 5 different states and it appears to work BUT. I only want the balls to jump from one or two spaces max when you click on it. It works fine until you have two balls in a row and try to click the outside one to jump. (it does, but it shouldn't because it shouldn't jump to a third place). Any thoughts on how to fix it?

If you get stuck, don't hesitate to come back and post your .story file. I can't wait to see how this turns out!

This was created in SL2.
