Duplicate layer not working
Hi Jennifer, change the triggers to "Object dropped on" target(s).
There is a reason why dropped on target works and drag over does not work if there is more than one drag action layer. The precise explanation is better explained by Articulate engineers - I would like to know the reason again too.
Hello, Ange! Thank you so much! This worked! It completely solved my problem. I appreciate your help so much!
Additionally, I am having issues with a subsequent layer where I am trying to simulate the process of removing grease with a swab. The grease is three freeform images, and the swab is a .jpg picture. I set the triggers to make the freeform images disappear when the user drags the .jpg over them. It doesn't work perfectly, but it works. However, I set a checkmark to appear when the state of all vectors is hidden, but it is not working. Do you know why? Thanks!
Hi Jennifer, Great, my pleasure, happy it solved your problem.
As far as new issue, It could be a few reasons.
Can you upload your new story file? It would make it quicker to troubleshoot.
Hey, Ange! Thank you so much for all of your help. Here is that file:
Hi Jennifer, 2 things.
1. You are referencing the checkmark on layer 1.1 Maintenance, change it to reference the checkmark on the Objects on Maintenance 4 layer. Tip: Good practice to label items, especially with layers, less room for error : e.g. Checkmark Maintenance 4
2. The ink splotches are too small- Suggest you make them much larger
- Or, you could make all three freeforms into one single image; if one drag for all works for you:
Select all 3 freeforms > right click > choose export as picture from dropdown list > reimport as one object. Adjust trigger references.
Thanks for your help, Ange! I also found a way to make the interact work better. I changed it to object intersects instead. This way, the very tip of the swab appears to remove the grease. However, to make this work, I had to create a drag trigger in the layer as well for the swab image. I just added an invisible rectangle to make it work.
Wait, I realized I had it set to the checkmark on the base layer instead of the actual layer. Resolved!
