Programmed Timer
I have a timer programmed to decrease from 5 seconds to 0 at the end of my title slide. If the user does not press one of the custom buttons provided, I have them revisit the title slide from the start. My timer, when revisited for the second time, is starting at 0 and decreases from there into the negatives. How to do I get it restart at the 5 second point when the user revisits the title slide? In the settings I do have it set to “reset to initial state” when revisiting but it’s not doing that.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Melanie
Are you using a variable to track the timer? If so, they do not reset on revisit, no matter what the setting. The main purpose of variables is to carry information from one slide to another. They only change if ordered by a trigger. Set it to 5 when the timeline begins on the title slide.
If I'm guessing wrong, and that's not how you are doing it, attach your .story file (or at least the title slide) here so someone can take a look at it.

You are correct! Thank you for the tip, it worked. I added a trigger to adjust the time variable back to 5 when the timeline begins again on that slide!
