if then
Hi,
I need some help with IF then triggers for self reflection. I also need to add to the triggers that if the user selects a certain combination it will take them to a new page for support. I att...
These tips might help:
- To allow only one choice among multiple buttons, put the buttons into a button set. Here's more info: https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360/articles/articulate-storyline-360-user-guide-how-to-work-with-button-sets
- Don't add a trigger to change an object to Selected (or Visited) when it is clicked. There are built-in functions to switch to those states. Triggers that duplicate those functions can cause problems.
- To branch to different pages, the Next button will need multiple triggers with conditions based on which buttons are selected.

- Avoid treating a group like a button. That often leads to problems—and definitely leads to more triggers than necessary.
- For example, instead of a group containing a rectangle and an icon, use just the rectangle object. While in Edit-States mode, you can insert the appropriate icon directly into the state(s). It will look the same as the group, but it'll only be one object in the Timeline.
- Give meaningful names to all of your objects (as well as to any as layers, animations, and variables). That will make programming and troubleshooting much easier.
