Condition on Hotspots for an Order

Hi I have a tiered diagram which has hotspots which open each layer with information.  How can I add a condition to ensure they start at the bottom tier? I have added the diagram.  Thank you.

    Hi MargaretMcCa446​ 

    To make this easier I'm supplying you my test .story file. I've tweaked the code a little and there are 2 slides. One where you can only go up, and not back. and another where you can go up (still can't skip a hotspot) but you can also revisit previous layers.

    Reach out if you have any questions.

Hi Judy

I have tried doing the above triggers however, the hotspots don't appear for me to change their state:

Can you please advise, thank you.

Kind regards

I have no idea how the trigger shown in your picture is related to this issue, since it's dealing with the states of a picture and of an arrow based on the values in multiple variables. 

You said, "the hotspots don't appear for me to change their state."

As noted above, hotspots don't have states. A shape with a solid fill set to 100% transparency would be invisible to the user (like a hotspot is), However, a shape can have states. (See PRIMER: Hotspots vs. Transparent Shapes | Articulate - Community )

Beyond that, troubleshooting is just guessing without seeing all the programming. Someone might be able to solve the issue if you upload the .story file. Here are the best practices for doing that:
  • Only include slides that are related to the problem.
  • Be sure objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
  • If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace proprietary text with “ipsum lorem” text.
