Menu and hidden/normal states
Hi everyone, I've been working on ELC#406 this week and doing a lot of fiddling to my course. Double thanks to Judy Nollet for helping me with a specific problem with hidden states and also for this YT training that I was watching today that led me to change a group of objects to a single shape using states - which was a wonderful cleanup to the project. It's mostly where I'd like it but I'm wondering if I can make the triggers any better and would appreciate any advice from seasoned Storyline users. File attached so you can see and test as needed.
As a user I'd expect to interact with the menus like this:
1. I click the main menu button and the sub-menus are revealed. I click again, they go away. That is working.
2. I click the sun menu and the signs are revealed. I click sun menu again, they go away. That is working.
3. I click the sun menu and the signs are revealed. I click the main menu button: the signs disappear and the main sub-buttons are revealed. This is working.
3A. I THEN click one of the sub-menus which takes me immediately to the other slide. This is not how it works with my setup (slide trigger fires first and reveals the signs before the user is taken to the other slide based on the trigger in the master slide)
4. I click the main menu and the sub-menus are revealed. I click the sun menu: the signs appear and the sub-menus disappear. This is not how it works with my setup because of the toggling trigger and that particular sequence of clicking - the sub-menus do disappear but the signs do not appear because they've been toggled to hidden state.
I am sure there must be a way to do this with variables plus triggers that set the states to hidden/normal (paired with the if function and based on the variable) in lieu of toggling but I've been fiddling for a while and can not figure out how to structure it - and also end up breaking one of the other use cases. Would appreciate any help on how to do what I've described or other streamlining you'd recommend.
Thank you!
Jackie
