Multiple AND and OR conditions in the same trigger
I've run into a scenario when I am implementing a "show layer X" trigger 5 times (with different conditions), when I really should be just using one trigger (with all conditions combined). How does storyline evaluate a trigger with conditions that include both AND and OR statements?
For example :

Phil to the rescue! Thank you much, Alexandros, I think I figured out a way to do it. What I am doing is creating a dummy variable that is false, using that "And Hide == False" and then adding all of my other "OR" conditions into one trigger. I was going to have to make 15 triggers and now I only need 3
Will only work if you have more than one condition
I am trying to do the same thing, I am running into a problem where I cannot even add an "OR" condition on any triggers, because it is always grayed out. Does anyone know why this would happen?
Hi Alexandros,
As this is written in c#, I assume it will be evaluate left to right.
Articulate doesn't have the "(" prioritisation, so we can only asume it.
Still using a temporay variable and additional triggers looks more readable for the non-IT person

Hi Geert,
That's exactly what I am trying to avoid (multiple triggers). It works that way, sure, but want to avoid this (there are scenarios where I have to set 5-6 triggers for 6 different elements). 6 triggers instead of 30 would make a difference.
Hi Alexandro,
What you could do is store the result of your Or condition in a variable with 1 trigger, followed by a second trigger that takes taht variable and applies the AND condition to it
Trigger 1
Or_result = picture 1 OR picture 2
Trigger 2
Show layer = Picture 3 AND Or_result
Hope it helps
