Moving Objects to defined position on slide independent of the starting position

I would like to move objects to a defined absolute position on the screen, independent of the starting position.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is such a feature being planned?

  • Hi, Martin. 

    Thank you for reaching out!

    Can you expand on what you're trying to achieve, or possibly share a .story file with your ideas?

    If I understand your request correctly, then it's something that you can already do in Storyline. Take a look at the example below:

    main_large

    The object moves through a Line Motion Path (with relative starting point) every time the user presses the left arrow key:

    There is a second Line Motion Path that starts and end at the same position, which is activated by the Clear button:

    Regardless of where the object is, it will move it back to the original position when the button is pressed. 

    Is this similar to what you're looking to do?
