Slide state: reset to initial state?
Hi all,
After numerous users reported a loss of their progress, our LMS provider suggested to us to reduce the amount of characters which are saved in the 'suspend-data'. To do so, it was suggeste...
Hi Ned,
Thanks for your reply.
Let me see if I understand your last para. If I set a slide to "Reset to Initial State" when revisited, and there are triggers on that slide, the triggers are triggered again? And say that trigger is a number variable (for instance, add +1 to variable 'page count'), that slide trigger would be triggered every time that slide would be revisited, correct?
I don't think I have any such triggers and variables, only true/false variables and visited/checked states on objects.
Hi Sara,
That is correct. Basically, if you reset a slide to its original state, it acts exactly as it did the first time it was visited. Its timeline is reset to the start and any triggers associated with the slide should act exactly as they did the first time round.
As far as your True/False variables are concerned, you may still need to reset some of them. If, for example, a variable is changed from False to True to show that a particular layer has been visited, it will already be set to True when the user revisits the slide. Depending on how you have then used that variable, it may prevent a layer being shown when the slide is revisited.
