Continue Triggers
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:
Hi Feel stupid asking this question but this last trigger will not work - I have done this 1000x and I am not sure why this layer will not let me jump to the next slide or even a specific slide I can have the slide advance with the next on the frame tho so I have a workaround -- I have also tried to change the state of the star as well and it too is unresponsive.
Hi StephanieJohnse! We can definitely help you figure this out! Unfortunately, this type of behavior is hard to troubleshoot without seeing a .story file. Would you mind sharing the file in this discussion or privately in a support case?
