Continue Triggers
Hi, hoping someone can help as this is driving me nutty!
I set up triggers so that a 'continue' button appears and is clickable after 4 buttons have been pressed. This works perfectly well on one s...
CaitlinGregory- : Troubleshooting is often just guessing without seeing the .story file. Here's my best guess about potential issues:
- When a trigger adds 1 to a variable when a button is clicked, that will happen every time the button is clicked. So, for example, someone could click one button four times to make the number variable = 4.
- Variables maintain their value until a trigger changes it. If you're using the same number variable to count clicks on multiple slides, you have to reset it to 0 for each slide. Otherwise, if it reaches 4 on the first slide, it will already be 4 when the user advances to the second slide.
Based on your description, it sounds like the user doesn't leave the slide when they click the must-be-clicked buttons. If that's the case, you don't need to use the variable. Just give each of those buttons a Visited state. Then change the state of the Continue button to Normal when the State of those buttons = Visited. Here's an example of that type of trigger:
OK. Check the slide properties to see if it is resetting each slide to the original state? This might be where the problem is. Let me know if it's resetting the state of the slide to the original state.
