Changing states when repeatedly returning to same slide (SL360)
I wouldn't use visited as that is a built in state and just means clicked. I would create a custom state (completed)
Then set a trigger to change the state of your object to completed when timeline starts on condition that the variable is true.
Hi Judy,
thank you for the additional information. I do actually have custom states and custom shapes in this case, I just hadn't realized that that was relevant, so I used the name "visited" because it is easy to understand what it describes. Good to know about those built-in shapes!
So if a learner returns to the manu slide even at a time other than 0 (zero), it still executes the trigger "when timeline starts"? - I had assumed that that trigger refers to the time of 0 s.
I will try that and see what happens 😉
If the Slide Properties include "Reset to Initial State," the timeline will replay from the beginning.
If the Slide Properties include "Resume Saved State," the timeline will play from the point at which the user had left the slide. If the timeline had already ended, there's nothing left to replay.
In either case, a "when the timeline starts" trigger will run whenever the user visits a slide.
