I am having trouble restricting the user from moving to the next slide until such time they have visited every menu item on the slide. I have created a T/F variable with a default value of F and set triggers in each linked slide to change the variable to T when the NEXT button is selected. On the menu itself, I have created a trigger to 'activate' the NEXT button when all of the menu items have been 'completed' (a button that has a state set to completed when clicked).
My problem is that the user can progress is they select the menu items out of sequence; what am I doing wrong?
I've attached the file so that someone with more brains than me can help solve my dilemma! (p.s. please don't tell Matt G as he only just taught me this last week! :( )
I'm not in my office to download the file. But try this.
Instead of using the states in the trigger use the T/F variables.
So on the hub slide:
Change state of Next button to disabled when timeline starts on xx slide.
Change state of Next button to normal when timeline starts on xx slide on condition that variable a = true AND variable b = true AND variable C - true.
If that doesn't work let me know and I'll download your file when I get back.
I tried to copy what you instructed; however, this hasn't fixed the problem. I only had 1 variable so was only able to set the 2nd step once. It didn't prevent the user from progressing before first selecting all of the menu items.
Could you have a look and let me know what I am doing wrong please?
On a similar note.... I am now trying to make my objects disappear as they are dropped onto another object ina Drop & Drag interaction.... I have set triggers for each item to be Hidden when the object is dropped on either of the 2 objects available. I don't understand what has gone wrong :(
I'll attach this file too so that you can help me with this also.... It seems so elementary and I am frustrated I can't get the simplest right! So your correction will be most welcome :)
which slide are you having trouble with? I can see a T/F variable called LayerProgress but there is no information about where it is being used - see attached Peek video. When I click on the Use count column it should list where the variable is being used and in what triggers.
