Layer automatically closes at end of timeline
Hi,
I have a layer that is automatically closing at the end of the timeline within the layer. I have two layers for the same slide and one layer does this, while the other does not. I need them to remain open until the user clicks the button I've set up to return them to the base layer.
For layer properties, I have only checked "hide other slide layers" on both the layer that is working properly and the layer that is not working properly.
Thanks!

No worries Janet - all the best.
Hi,
I have an issue where any already opened slide layer automatically closes once the timeline in base layer finishes. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Tanmay
Hi Tanmay,
Curious if you have a trigger set that is dependent on that slide timeline?
Would you be able to share your .story file so that we can take a look?
Actually there is a trigger when timeline starts, but there is no such triggers in timeline ends. However, for now I have set the slide layer property as "Pause base timeline" and it's working that way. I'm using custom back-next buttons here, not the default player's PREV-NEXT buttons.
For the .story file, I'm sorry that I won't be able to share since we have a non-disclosure agreement with client.
I certainly understand Tanmay, and if you're able to share at a later date or are able to replicate the issue in a new file we're happy to take a look.
Check if you have added any exit animations (e.g. fade away) to the objects on the layer. They will trigger when the timeline ends..
This was the solution I needed for this issue. Thank you :)
Jesper - Thank you! I had the same issue, and it was from an exit animation.
Hi all - I was having the same problem and searched for a solution - and this thread appeared. So to help others who might do the same as me, open the slide layer property screen. Make sure the 'hide slide layer when timeline finishes' is NOT ticked.
Thank you, this is what I was looking for!
Thanks, Robert. Your solution worked for me.
