trigger state changes from one layer to the next
Anyone know why you can't use a trigger to change the state of an object on one layer by clicking an object on another layer...I don't see the objects listed on all layers to use a trigger...you can only seemingly get access to use triggers for all objects on all layers from the base layer...is that correct?
I am using most up to date Storyline 360

As an alternative, could you use a true/false variable that changes when an object on Layer 1 is clicked, with the same click launching Layer 2.
When Layer 2 opens, you could add a trigger when the timeline starts that changes the state of something on that layer on the condition that the true/false variable is equal to the object on Layer 1 having been clicked.
I hope that makes sense!
Yes I had that as an alternative...thanks for your confirmation.
It's a bit weird though that you can't do that and it makes the coding much more laborious in my project

Yes, I can imagine it would be a lot simpler if you could do what you needed without the long-winded alternative.
