Improve arrow-animations in Storyline 360

Hi,

the ability to animate arrows in Storyline is severly lacking, especially in cases where you want the arrow to change directions. As far as I know in these cases, you have to add multiple lines and time them with the Grow-animation.

I have a suggestion for the devs to implement more robust controls for arrows and highlight-pointers and effects. Please see attached video of a javascript I created for a demonstration.

I also would appreciate any alternative built-in processes that I might have missed that can make this easier.

  • It looks like you are comfortable with JS, and so you might benefit from exploring the GSAP lib that is included with Storyline.

      Great tip, thanks. I'm looking into it.
      Still, Articulate should really improve some animation-functionality. Even Powerpoint have better ways to create angled arrows.
