Building a Trigger for a Text Entry
So, it's unfortunate that text entry objects don't have states. I'm trying to create a scenario where a dropdown menu appears instantly when a learner types a particular word just to recreate the instant search function that many systems use.
However, it doesn't seem to be possible to recreate in Storyline because triggers are only activated when the user clicks or presses something. Am I wrong in this assumption? Is there somehow a workaround here? It would be great to recreate a system accurately.
You ask:
... triggers are only activated when the user clicks or presses something. Am I wrong in this assumption?
Technically, no, but pressing a key can be used to activate a trigger. If the key word is "show", you can show the menu when they press "w".
Or if you want to be more exact, the attached sample may get you started.
Thank you, sir
