    Hi Nedim, I just moved the Failure-Last Attempt trigger first on the base layer. That appeared to work. I tested several times, 3 failures, 1 failure and then 100%, and a 100%. All work as designed.

    Nedim, can you explain the why the last attempt needs to occur first?

    Thanks, Tina

That doesn't make sense to me. The trigger to "show layer" should only apply to the layer that meets the conditions, not show all layers.

    Hi VictoriaSubl967,

    Thanks for chiming in here. I understand why you’d expect the trigger to show only the layer that matches the condition.

    One thing to keep in mind is that Storyline evaluates triggers from top to bottom, so in some setups, more than one “Show layer” trigger can still run during the same sequence. In Tina’s case, changing the trigger order helped ensure the correct layer stayed visible.

    If the goal is for only one layer to ever appear, it can help to structure the conditions so each outcome is clearly separated and doesn’t overlap with the others.
