Issue with navigation triggers
Slide 6.3 has these triggers:
After answering Final Jeopardy on 6.4, the user returns to 6.3. At that point, all the buttons are Hidden. Thus, the variable is changed to True. And, thus, the program jumps back to 6.4. Because there's no "Hide this layer when the user clicks Continue" trigger, whatever layer was showing before still shows. That all happens so fast you probably wouldn't even see the Results layer.
However, the Results won't show because of these triggers on 6.4:
Triggers run in order. However, if a "jump to" trigger takes the user to another slide, subsequent triggers don't run. You have to move the set-variable trigger before the jump-to trigger to change the variable.
And you still need to resolve the conflict between showing the Results layer vs. jumping to 6.4. That could be done with triggers like this:
By the way, thanks for providing such a detailed description of the issue. That made it easier to troubleshoot.
Thank you as always Judy, that worked! I just did another test and, if you don't mind, could I also ask you if you see anything in my triggers that is causing my "Total Questions Correct" on the Results layer for 6.3 to not work? I have these triggers on each question, and it adds the scores for each character just fine but for some reason when I just tested it, it didn't add any of them it stayed at 0...
You're seeing "0" as the Total Questions Correct because there's a trigger on the 6.3 Results layer that sets the variable to 0.
BTW, since the use won't see this layer until they've completed Final Jeopardy, there's no reason to give the text box an Initial State of Hidden. Change the Initial State back to Normal, and you can delete the trigger that changes the state.
And in case you're interested, here's my Eightfold Path of Troubleshooting. The post includes a link to expanded info presented in a webinar.
Perfect, it works now! I think I confused myself beforehand but now I see the issue. I will check out that Eightfold Path as well and maybe that will help me pay it forward :) Thank you again!
