Jump to Slide %Variable%
Surely there is a way to do this. I can create a trigger for each state of the variable. But this requires creating a trigger for each variable state on every slide that requires it. It would be muc...
Programmers have wanting this function in every coding language since the early 80’s. The closest any language comes is the CASE statement (which is just a series of triggers). So I think that’s why it doesn’t exist in SL. I don’t think Articulate’s authoring tool is going to be the first to solve that problem.
Judy’s idea is not only the industry standard, it is your best bet.
I've been using this approach for quite some time. It is very cumbersome as you have to create a trigger for every possible variable value. In my case, there are a dozen navigation paths and therefore every slide needs a dozen triggers. And in my case, every slide in a scene needs all 12 triggers in order to return the learner to their source path.
Not sure what you mean by programmers wanting this feature. Passing variables between modules seems like a pretty basic concept in programming.
Passing variables is not a problem.
Jumping to [variable contents] is the problem.
See Nathan’s post below for a method.
