Layers for animation
Hello fellow learning designers
I am new to storyline and have the impression that I haven't yet fully understood the workings of layers with triggers.
This is my use case: I want 2 persons to p...
Each Layer has its own triggers and timeline. By the looks of it you have just assumed that all the layers operate on a single timeline, but that is not the case.
So you will need some sort of "Show Layer 1" trigger on the base layer in order to move to that Layer.
But all that might easier to do if the character animations would be done in different States in base layer instead of different layers. You would get all the objects to the same timeline, and might easier the adjust the animations that way.
EDIT: Then again, with layers you can easily make one section in between longer, and following layers keep their animation timings automatically, so layers do have benefits too here.
