Toggle between custom states
Hi,
I would like an object to toggle between normal and a custom state. It looks like I can only use the toggle trigger with a Disabled or Hidden state... and the same when setting up a true/false variable. I feel like I am missing something...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
If all you want is a toggle between two states when the learner clicks, use Normal and Selected. They have built-in superpowers to toggle back and forth.
If your need to toggle at some other impetus, you will need a custom state, a T/F variable, and some triggers:
1. Change to state if variable = T
2. Change to other state if variable = F
3. Toggle (not set) variable.
Thank you, Walt. The problem I see is that when I set the T/F variable, I am not able to select the custom state to between.
*to toggle between.
I want to toggle between Normal and Custom state.
The toggle trigger is only for disabled and hidden which I have always found odd but is how it works.
Walt is suggesting using a selected state which is the most elegant way to toggle a state.
His other solution which will work well is to create the triggers in the order he suggest then it will work
Maybe I am asking the wrong question.... I want an object to toggle between states without interaction from the user. Is this toggle or maybe motion paths off to the side that trigger state changes?
What triggers the state change?

Animation beginning and ending on two different motion paths?
There is a trigger when animation complete which you can use to build a state change. For the animation start can you use when timeline starts for the object? Or the trigger that starts the animation.

Got it. Begin motion path1 when the timeline starts on the slide.
Change state 1 to state 2 when motion path 1 completes
Change state 2 to state1 when motions path 2 completes.
Move motion path 2 once motion path 1completes.
