Is there a way to have a single trigger do multiple actions?
Is there a way to have a single trigger do multiple actions?
Normally every possible action must have at least one trigger. The conditions for the trigger must be set when the trigger is created and can not be altered on the fly. If you wanted to have a lot of things happen from a single event you would need a lot of triggers.
This can problematic. It can take a long time leading to a bloated series of triggers. Also storyline will slowdown if there are too many triggers in play. Alot.
A Storyline trigger can only perform one action. The only way to" have a lot of things happen" from a single trigger would be to have that trigger execute JavaScript that performs multiple actions.
I haven't run into any major speed issues with multiple triggers. I've had a single slide with thousands of triggers with no issues.
One round-about way to have one trigger execute multiple actions: set the trigger action to Show Layer <layer_name>. On the layer then have a bunch of actions that execute one after the other, and the last trigger hides the layer again.
