    Without seeing the full slide, the first thing I'd suggest is to add your reference variable for %Items_Castaway% to your slide to see if it's counting correctly.

    But the thing that stands out the most is the trigger order and how you're counting the selected items. Storyline's Selected state should work because it automatically toggles between Normal and Selected. Here's what I'd try:

I think it would be better to redo this, add selected state if you don't have one.

Create a layer:

Add these triggers

reset your variable to 0
change state of next to disabled
Add one if buttion is selected... (15 times)
Change state of next to normal if your variable equal to 8
Hide layer this layer


Add trigger to all buttons to show the layer
