Need a way to persist a layer.
Hi all.
I use Storyline to craft realistic simulations for my companies training. One of the elements we use is a Help layer. This is a transparent layer the learner can activate when they click a help icon. They then close the layer by clicking the close icon. Very simple.
I have a request to give learners the option to make the help layer persist from slide to slide. Something like a "toggle".
I've sorted out the way to do it using skills I already have.
When the learner clicks a hotspot on the help layer set a variable to true/false.
When a slide timeline starts, check the variable and show the layer if true.
If the learner closes a help layer set the variable to False.
The issue is that this requires a new logic on every base layer and help layer. It's going to be tedious to retrofit the simulations I already have with this new functionality.
Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives?
Cheers, Jerry.
