Markers
Hi
I have several markers on one slide, and each one has a Visited state (to turn green) when the user hovers over them and some associated audio has finished playing - this currently works fine. However, if a user happens to click on the marker, instead of hovering, the marker turns green without waiting for the audio to finish. How can I stop the marker turning to a Visited state if the user happens to click instead of hover? I don't really want to have to build more triggers to achieve this but I can't see any other way. Surely, as the trigger is a hover, clicking the marker shouldn't have any affect, but sadly it does.
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance, Sarah.
Visited just means clicked, so you could use a custom state and add triggers to control that showing.
Thanks for replying so swiftly Phil. That worked a treat, thank you!
FYI: The built-in states come with built-in functionality. For example, as Phil pointed out, an object with a Visited state will automatically change to Visited when clicked. An object with a Hover state will automatically show that state on mouse over.
You can often save time programming by relying on the built-in functionality. And you can save yourself headaches by knowing when you need to avoid it.

Thank you, really appreciate your reply and link 😊
