Help with Triggers
Hi,
I am relatively novice with storyline 360 and just need an interactive slide. I am familiar with layers, etc. Attached is a picture of the slide I'm working on. Basically I want someone to cli...
Your slide is way more complicated than it needs to be. The attached file has an edited version. Here's a summary of what I did:
- I adjusted the Selected state of each circle-button to make it more visually different from the Normal state. I also gave them a Visited state.
- I deleted the Selected and Visited states from the associated text boxes on the base. Those have an Initial State of Hidden. They only need a Normal state to be shown.
- On the layers, I deleted everything except the text box with the example.
- Your layers had copies of the objects from the base. That's unnecessary--and it makes it virtually impossible to properly control what's showing.
- FYI: On the Master Blank Feedback Layout, I formatted its background to No Fill. This allows the objects on the base to show through.
- I renamed buttons to start with "b[#]" so they appear in order in the Trigger panel. (I also renamed the text boxes and the layers with matching numbers. This just makes it easier to program and troubleshoot.
- For the text boxes on the layers, I adjusted the margins and also left-aligned the text. (It's harder for folks to parse text that's centered.)
Oh my gosh, you are a wizard. Thank you so much - I am so thankful to learn so much from this!! I appreciate it more than you know.
I'm glad my edited version is helpful.
