Changing Manual Markers from Picked to Done
I have done a few projects now where I have set up triggers to change multiple manually made markers or tabs (on the same slide) from Normal, Hover, Picked and Done. Since, the last Storyline update...
The attached file shows a simpler way to program that type of slide. The edited slide is in Scene 3. Here are some notes:
- Each marker has a Selected state and a Visited state.
- The markers are in a button set. (https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360/articles/articulate-storyline-360-user-guide-how-to-work-with-button-sets)
- Therefore, the built-in functionality automatically does this (without the need for triggers):
- Change a button to Selected when it is clicked.
- Deselect that button when another button is clicked/Selected. The deselected button will change to Visited.
- Recognize that a Selected button is also Visited. This allows for triggers that look for when all of the markers are Visited.
- FYI: I made the initial trigger change the Next button to Disabled instead of Hidden. I think that’s a better option, because it leaves all the lower navigation items in place.
