Object states and the timeline
I have a slide where the timeline pauses, and the learner makes a decision which team to root for at 9 seconds. After that decision is made, at 20 seconds I want the team mascot to appear, this mas...
A simple trigger should work to change the state of the appropriate mascot to Normal when the timeline reaches 20 seconds.
If you're using a trigger like that, but the state isn't changing, there might be an issue with the trigger that resumes the timeline (i.e., the timeline never reaches 20 seconds).
It's hard to tell without seeing the .story file. I suggest you upload that for troubleshooting.
Here are the best practices for uploading a .story file:
- Only include slides that are involved in the problem.
- Be sure all objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
- If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace proprietary text with ipsum lorem text.
- Be sure to clearly describe the following:
- What you want to happen
- What is not happening that should happen
- What is happening that shouldn’t happen
- What you have tried
Thank you for the reply, Ill upload the file as soon as I get out of work.
