Variables Help!!
Jul 22, 2017
OK it's late and it's been driving me nuts, so I'm pleading to the gurus once again.
Variables please lovely people. I want a 'continue' button to appear when and only when my readers have visited four slides. I have set my triggers on each of the four slides to change from true to false when the user clicks next, all my pathways lead back to the main slide where the continue button is located. The trigger changing the state of the continue button from hidden to normal is set. I have added conditions on the variables to include all the slides going from false to true.
I have checked and re-checked everything and I can't find the fault.
Anybody please offer me some help.
Thank you
Trevor.

If we can see the file, then we might be able to see what went wrong
The trigger to change the continue button to Normal, is it when timeline of the first slide starts? check whether its against the timeline or any other objects within that slide. If the triggers on the branches are OK and correct, I can't think of anything else
Hi Muhammad,
Thank you for taking the time to reply and offer help. I have managed to sort it out now.
I appreciate your support,
Best regards,

Hey Trevor
Glad you were able to get it sorted out. As mentioned by Muhammad, when you run into an issue like this it helps if you can upload the story file, or even just the slide in question. This way we can have a look and figure out what's happening.
