Help needed with buttons sets and triggers/variables
The problem with 3Keys is this trigger:
or more accurately, that there is only one like it. This works fine if Layer1 is visited last, because then the other variables are true. But if Layer1 is visited first, the others aren't true, and the trigger doesn't fire again because Layer1Visited isn't changed again. You need a trigger just like this one for the layer 2 variable, and the layer 3 variable. That way, no matter what order the learner follows, the third one will change the state on Next button 1.
FYI, this is a habit that can get you in trouble:
You can get away with this trigger order because you are staying on the same slide. The new layer is shown, then the variable is changed. But if the first trigger jumps to a different slide, it doesn't work. The jump interrupts the trigger flow, and the triggers that follow it are not executed, so the variable never gets set.
It works here, but it is a bad habit to get into to move first, and try another action after the move.
Final challenge I'm having...when I revisit the 3 keys slide, I can't get the Next button to return to normal after clicking through the layers/buttons. I've tried all 3 ways for revisit (saved state, initial state, automatically decide). Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Sounds like I need to reset the variables on this slide...
SOLVED....I reset the variables all to true when timeline starts. Thanks!
