Motion Path resests when returning to slide
This is probably a little tough...
I have a training I am developing that has an object moving through a series of motion plaths based on user interactions. After certain motion paths end, the training automatically goes to a MC quiz question and then returns to the original slide after the quiz question is answered. Everything works as expected prior to the return to the original slide.
What happens at the return to the original slide is that the objects resets to its original postition rather than returning to where it left off in the series of the Motion Paths.
Base Layer is set to "Resume Saved State" when revisiting.
Subject and training are propriatary so I cannot share the story file. Hopefully I have shared enough to elicit solutions.
TIA

Is the object that moves on the motion paths set with an original trigger that marks it as "When timeline begins on this slide/this object"? That's given me some issues in the past.

Thanks for the reply. I do have a trigger that has the object move when timeline begins.
The way I have that trigger set up to have a T/F variable that switches when the motion completes and another trigger that has a condition that on the variable that the object moves only when the variable is in the Default Value. The variable shuts off the motion.
Whoa! I thought did. I didn't actually create the Adjust Variable trigger. I had it in my mind, but it wasn't done. I added it.
However, the issue remains.
This did lead to a partion solution. Its party caused because this project has about 100 variables and 75 triggers and I missed a couple. I am using an off screen helper object and I missed the trigger to change its state so that the initial motion doesn't reset. So, no the object doesn't reset, but it does advance to the next Motion Path without user interaction. Its not supposed to, but this is a new issue.
So thanks for the question - it led me to the answer.
