Show Layer After Variables Met
I would like Layer 9 to only Show only after the learner has visited the other 8 layers. I've used True/False Variables for when a layer is visited but i just can't seem to get it to work correctly....
I have spent way too much time on this but here's what I've found:
- Couldn't use the Visited States options in the end. When you click on the last choice, it's actually in the Selected state (and not Visited) so variable TimeOutComplete = True wouldn't occur (when State All of: Oval 1-8 is Visited). So, Layer 9 wouldn't trigger to display.
- I went back to using variables = True for each time a specific oval was clicked. TimeOutComplete = True was triggered to display the final layer.
- All looked good BUT I wanted a final summary text banner to display on the base layer. It wouldn't display if I had the textbox displaying over the Layer 9 textbox. It only worked if I placed the textbox in a different spot.
- I paused the base timeline at Timeline Start. Each Layer also is triggered to Pause timeline (if I don't pause, the final layer textbox will stop displaying too soon). The layer Timeline will resume when TimeOutComplete = True (all ovals clicked)
- Each slide layer property is set to Hide slide layer when timeline finishes (this will hide the final layer's textbox so that the summary textbox on the base can display over the top of it)
- The base layer is triggered to Resume timeline when TimeOutComplete = True (all ovals visited).
Everything looks good EXCEPT the base layer pauses and doesn't resume to display the final summary textbox. I know I can just display the summary in another area but I'd like to know how to get this to work for the next time.
