Object states and the timeline

The attached file has an edited version of the slide that works like you want it to. Here are the changes:

• Cue points on the timeline provide an easy way to indicate a time in "when timeline reaches" triggers.
  • For example, you can drag a cue point to a different spot on the timeline, but you won't have to edit any trigger that runs when the timeline reaches that cue point. 
  • Here's more info: Using the Timeline in Storyline 360 - E-Learning Heroes (articulate.com)
• The plushy and child pics span the entire timeline. They all have the Initial State of Hidden, so they won't appear until a trigger changes them to Normal.
  • They also have a short entrance animation, so they'll fade in when changed to Normal.) 

• A text variable called mascotChoice is used to track what team is chosen. The initial value is blank. Triggers on the "Pick" buttons adjust the variable to a meaningful value. 

• At the cue points, triggers change the state of the appropriate plushy and child pics to Normal. This is based on the value of the mascotChoice variable. 
  • Because there are only 2 choices, one If/Else trigger works to show the appropriate pic. If there were more options, there would have to be a separate trigger for each potential condition.
