Change state of multiple objects with one trigger action
It doesn't appear to possible to change the of multiple objects with one trigger. You have to create a separate individual trigger action for each object.
Let's say I want multiple objects to change their state when a variable changes, I can't set up a trigger to 'Change State of...Objects 1 -10' when variable 'x' changes. I would have to do it for Object 1 then copy and paste it for the rest and change the object name.
Any chance I'm missing something and this actually can be done? Thanks

Hi Andrew,
Unfortunately you'll need to set this up for each state change, although you could easily use the copy/paste function within the triggers to do this a little quicker.

That's what I thought. Thanks Ashley

I'm finding this painful, too.
I have a custom navigation menu with Topic number | Screen number
I need to change the state of many buttons in each level to 'visited' when a 'topic_XX_done' variable changes to 'true' - tracking which topicsand screens a learner has completed for both topic and screen level.
It would be a very useful feature to set multiple object states at the some time.

Tom
Hi Tom,
This thread is a bit older, but that feature is still not included in Storyline. You're welcome to share your thoughts in the form of a feature request here.

Hi there - is this still in waiting?? Or has Articulate implemented this request now?? It was like 7 years ago so I'm assuming this is now done... Can you point me in the direction of this feature so I can update my project which I'm having trouble with atm.
Thanks
Doug

It's fine Becca.. I just did it the laborious "repetitive strain injury" way :) as described in the thread above. Thank you though. :)
