Help with Variable
I have a slide that has several quotes on it. When you click the quote, a layer comes up with further content. There are about 15 quotes, but I want to lock the "next" button until the user has clic...
I was able to open the file. Here's how to disable NEXT until three quotes have been viewed.
Create a number variable with a default value of 0. For example, call it "quoteCount."
Put a trigger on each layer that adds 1 to the variable when the layer's timeline ends.
Put a trigger on the base that changes NEXT to Disabled when the timeline starts with the condition that the variable < 3.
Put a trigger on the base that changes NEXT to Normal when the variable changes with the condition that the variable = 3.
After viewing 3 layers, the variable will = 3, and NEXT will be enabled.
FYI: It’s worth the effort to learn about variables and trigger conditions, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s the User Guide info:
