Trigger actions not executing in order expected
Hi everyone,
My understanding is that if I have one trigger and I want 2 things to happen as a result of that trigger, that the actions will execute in the order shown in the Trigger Panel. This understanding is based on information found in these 2 places:
https://articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-The-Order-in-Which-Triggers-Are-Executed
"If there are multiple triggers on the same object that are triggered by the same action (such as "on click"), the triggers execute in the same order in which they appear in the Triggers panel (top to bottom) in Storyline."
https://community.articulate.com/articles/storyline-360-working-with-triggers
"When there are multiple triggers on the same object that are triggered by the same action (e.g., when the learner clicks a button), triggers execute in the order they appear in the Triggers panel."
Below is a screenshot of my Trigger Panel and Timeline:
Based on the order of the actions listed, I thought when the learner clicks the Next button on the Player that FIRST the timeline would resume, showing a mouse movement after a pause in the timeline, and SECOND it would jump to the next slide because resuming the timeline was listed first and going to the next slide was listed second.
What is happening is that it just jumps immediately to the next slide and never resumed the timeline. Why is it not working as expected?
More info on what I'm trying to do: I'm creating a software simulation. It's very similar to this one: https://community.articulate.com/e-learning-examples/storyline-process-interaction-turned-software-simulation/. I want the learner to click on different areas to practice "using" the software I'm demonstrating. For example, I have a caption pointing to link and the caption tells them to click on that link. The link has a hotspot over it. The learner clicks on the hotspot and advances to the next slide. The challenge I'm having is the client wants there to be a "show me" type interaction within this simulation, in case the learner doesn't know what to do or just doesn't want to click where they need to click. They want to keep the player Next and Previous buttons. If the learner doesn't click the hotspot in order to advance, but rather clicks the Next button instead, they want a mouse movement showing what the learner was supposed to have done and then move on. So, I put a pause in the timeline at the end of the audio on the slide. At that point, the learner can do one of two things: click the hotspot and jump to the next slide OR the learner clicks Next, the timeline is resumed which shows the mouse movement of what they should have done, and moves to the next slide.
