Avatars using states
Hi AlisonC You have a typo in Marilyn's name in the trigger on the second slide. When I fixed that, she showed up.
What's the "when" for the trigger that's supposed to change the state of the avatar based on the variable?
If the trigger is set to run "when the variable changes," it will only run if the variable changes on that slide.
If the trigger is set to run "when the timeline of this slide starts," then it should run. There must be something else happening.
Beyond that, troubleshooting is just guessing without seeing everything on the slides. Here are the best practices for uploading a .story file:
- Only include slides that are related to the problem.
- Be sure objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
- If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace
proprietary text with “ipsum lorem” text.
It's set to run "when the timeline of this slide starts".
I ended up with all sorts of issues when I pulled out these two slides, and it's an early draft, but the problem is here.
