It's easier to do it with Javascript, but if that's not something you like to use, here's a workaround (example attached)

4. Create a trigger to set new values for each of the three variables when the timeline on the new slide reaches 0.1
5. Staying on the new slide, add a box over the variables, which disappears quickly. Hide the layer once the box over the new variables has disappeared. Set this layer to always reset to initial state.
