Reset button (not for a quiz)
Yeah, I could track the states on that particular slide with variables and use triggers to control them, when I set the slide revisit behavior to "reset initial state".
It would have just been easier and faster if there was a reset button for the slide^^
"Reset to initial state" when revisiting does what it says: it resets the objects back to the state they were in when the person first visited the slide. It also replays the timeline.
- With that setting in Slide Properties, it's possible to quickly "reset" the slide with one trigger that "jumps to slide this slide."
- Variables maintain their value until a trigger adjusts them. Thus, triggers to reset/adjust appropriate variables may still be needed.
However, because you need the slide to "Resume saved state," you will need triggers for resetting. Those could easily go on the layer that shows after attempts have been used up. For each object that might have changed its state, put a trigger to "change the state of ___ to ___" when the user clicks whatever button is used to close the layer.
