State Not Changing on Layers
Storyline and I are not friends this week. :D I have created a normal state and a Talking 2 state for a Character on a layer. I want the character's state to change when the timeline reaches 4s. Tri...
The states don't change for me, either, if I use the Timeline's Play button to view a layer when the slide is in edit mode. That function doesn't run triggers. (For more info: Storyline 360: Working with the Timeline | Articulate - Community )
To properly test a slide's interactivity, use Preview.
Based on just the description, it sounds like the trigger should work. It's possible the slide is corrupted. You could try recreating it.
Otherwise, troubleshooting is just guessing without seeing the .story file. If you upload it, someone might be able to solve the issue.
Here are the best practices for uploading a .story file:
- Only include slides that are related to the problem.
- Be sure objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
- If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace proprietary text with “ipsum lorem” text.
