Trigger not working as expected
New-ish Articulate user. I am having trouble with getting a trigger to activate on this slide.
What should happen:
- User clicks the 3 word boxes, which opens their definitions.
- Once all the definitions have been opened, the Next Slide button appears.
The definitions and Next Slide buttons are initially set to hidden, and the triggers I have set up sets them to normal:
The definitions are opening, but the Next arrow is not being triggered and I'm not sure what I need to change.
I am not sure how to upload a .story file to this post!
Thank you for any assistance!
On the trigger that changes the state of the Next button, try setting the condition to "When the state of all the rectangles is NOT HIDDEN.

Thank you, this worked.
Would you be able to explain to me why it needed to be "is not hidden" vs. "is normal"?
sherbivore219: All the built-in states are based on the Normal state. As Walt Hamilton used to say, those states are like us in that they all think they're Normal even when they're not. 😆
Thus, it's a good habit to trigger based on an object not being a different state: e.g., when object(s) ≠ Hidden, when object(s) ≠ Selected, when object(s) ≠ Visited.
