Branching If/Then Navigation Question

Are your slides with buttons (Scene 0) set to "Reset to Initial state"?

Once the initial state is set, then you probably just need a T/F variable which can track whether the user clicked the correct/incorrect buttons in your choice slide.

Alternaitvely, you could let Storyline do the heavy lifting for you, and use Freeform question slide, and then set the BRANCHING properties to the slides you want for each choice.

Hi. All of the slides with choices are set to "reset to initial state." How would I do the things you're suggestion?

So first, in your Variables window, add a new T/F variable and call it something like "button2Pressed". It's starting/default setting should be FALSE.

Now, on your Button 2, before the "jump to slide" trigger, add a new trigger which says "Change state of button2Pressed to TRUE when User Clicks"

Finally, on the first slide of Scene 1, find the Prev button, and delete the trigger that is there.

Add 2 new triggers to the Prev button:
Jump to Slide <end of Scene 2> when user clicks, if button2Pressed = TRUE

Jump to Slide <Scene 0> when user clicks, if button2Pressed = FALSE

Thats it! :)

An explanation overview:
So what we are doing is simply telling the PREV button to behave differently based on whether the user has clicked the "wrong" button or not.

And Storyline knows whether the've clicked that "wrong" button because as soon as its clicked, the variable will stay TRUE, otherwise it will be FALSE.

Thank you so much! It makes sense that the change state trigger is first. I'll have to remember that trigger order is as important as timeline and layer orders.
