Show Layer After Hovering All 13 Markers – Not Working 😢
Hi everyone,
I’m working in Storyline 360 on a slide with 13 markers that expand on mouse hover only (not on click). I’d like to display a layer called “Continuer” only after all 13 markers have been hovered over.
Since the “Visited” state doesn’t work with hover, I created 13 True/False variables (one per marker), each set to True on hover using a trigger.
Then I added a trigger on the base layer:
Show layer “Continuer” when any variable changes, if all 13 variables are True.
Problem: the “Continuer” layer doesn’t appear — even after hovering all the markers.
To test, I left the “Continuer” layer empty, with no triggers — just a text box to confirm it’s been displayed. Still, nothing happens.
I had found this discussion and a tip from Walt Hamilton, but unfortunately it didn’t work in my case (likely because I’m using hover instead of click).
I’m attaching the slide in question. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I found it, thank you for not bothering you with variables.

When "any" variable changes? To make sure this happened, I believe you would need 13 separate triggers, one for each variable with the condition that all were true.
Another option would be to create an invisible layer. Show that layer also on hover of each marker. Create one trigger on the layer that changes the state to normal when the timeline of the layer starts under the condition that all 13 variables are true.
I am traveling and not able to download the file at the moment. But that is what I would recommend.
I recommend reprogramming so the user has to click each marker. And show the Continue layer when all the markers are Visited.
The Hover state is not accessible. If the person viewing the content is using their keyboard for navigation or is on a mobile device, they can't hover, so they'd get stuck on that slide.
But if it works very well on mobile, then yes, for practical reasons, I will do that.
My first recommendation would be to do whatever Judy recommends.
But, if hover is preferred or a requirement, you can use the marker-specific trigger "content opens" or "content closes" to trigger the visited state.
Not something you see every day but it's an easy option for conditional events like showing your continue layer.
Montsea Still the best, as always. 😘
