Can't interact with objects in slide master

I have a button on a layer on a slide that I want to make visible if three of my buttons on the master slide is set to visited, is there any way to do this?

 

Thanks!

    It doesn’t seem possible based solely on the button's state. While you can click on the buttons on the master slide, they can't directly trigger actions on the layer that uses them based on their states. To make this work, you would need a variable to track when each button is clicked. Then, based on the variable’s value, you can change the state of the object on the layer that uses this master slide.

    Something like this:

    Feedback Master Layer - BLANKA slide with a layer with buttons

    Result:

  • Use Nedim solution anything you need to interact with on a master is via variables.

    Can I have the buttons on the master and then show an object on another slide?

      No, you cannot. Buttons on the master slide will not be accessible or visible in triggers to perform actions on another slide. However, they can be used to trigger actions for objects on the base layer and other layers within the master slide. Alternatively, you can use the solution at the top of this thread to show an object on another slide using buttons on the master slide and variables.

        Hi Nedim,

         

        In your example the buttons are on the feedback master ... how are you setting the feedback master to show on the main timeline?
